With director Garry Marshall's newest offering, you might want to make time in your fully loaded holiday schedule.

The "Valentine's Day" director comes back with some more of those fun, easy viewing themes that you can watch while you're getting ready to go out to do some scandalous, festivity-induced fun later.

Much like "Valentine's Day," "New Year's Eve" follows a few dozen people into what happens on this most fateful of days. Included here are some of the classic New Year's premises like first kisses, midnight rendezvous, newborn babies, husbands at war and trapped strangers who suddenly find that they have more than a few things in common.

As a kicker, the cast reads like an entertainment show's dream.

A few examples of the storylines are Michelle Pfeiffer playing a docile office assistant who resigns from her job and hires a courier help her accomplish a list of resolutions. Ashton Kutcher, who plays a bearded chronic grumbler severely dissatisfied with life, gets stuck in an elevator for hours with backup singer Lea Michele.

Abigail Breslin who, in case you missed it, is now a teenager who hopes to join her friends in Times Square, but her mother won't let her. Jessica Biel and husband Seth Meyers competes for the New Year's first baby against a rival couple.

Other stars in this powerhouse cast include Robert De Niro, Hallie Berry, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sofia Vergara, Katherine Heigl, Jon Bon Jovi, Ludacris, Sarah Paulson, Til Schweiger and John Lithgow in an inspired bit of casting.

"New Year's Eve," a Warner Bros. Pictures release, is rated PG-13 for language and is playing all across America now.
