"Old New Year

The succession of the January 2012 Cinema Premier continues with a picture "Old New Year" from director Garry Marshall. He collected for his film a truly stellar cast: from John Bon Jovi and Robert De Niro to Sarah Jessica Parker and Michelle Pfeiffer.

The film takes place in New York City,who never sleeps. Like the previous picture of Marshall, "Valentine's Day", the film "Old New Year" is a series of festive episodes about different inhabitants of New York, whose fates intertwine in a bizarre way.

An elderly person on New Year's Eve dies inhospital. A modest secretary firmly intends to carry out his own observations. Vice-President of the Times Square Alliance with the help of his friend is finishing preparations for the famous New Year's show. And the comic book illustrator generally hates this holiday after the girl threw it.

Fate improbably reduces absolutely different people on the eve of the New Year, and for each of them this holiday becomes special, even if they did not expect it at all.
