We may have only just lumbered over the mid-year hump, but Hollywood is already looking forward to the end of 2011 with its star-studded rom-com, New Year’s Eve.

Brought to you by the team that created Valentine’s Day, this frothy flick is more of the same, but that’s not entirely a bad thing.

You want celebrities? You got ‘em, in the form of Halle Berry, Robert De Niro, Susan Sarandon, Hilary Swank, Sarah Jessica Parker, Zac Efron, Ashton Kutcher, that annoying girl from Glee, and that’s still just skimming the surface.

New Year’s Eve promises to be a fun, if superficial, way to spend a few hours when it opens in December.
