Garry Marshall's last romantic comedy, 2010's Valentine's Day appeared to star every A-list name in Hollywood.

But his new effort, New Year's Eve, may just have topped it.

Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Biel, Sarah Jessica Parker, Zac Efron, Katherine Heigl, Halle Berry, Robert De Niro, and Michelle Pfeiffer are just a few of the big names who appear in the newly-released trailer for the holiday film.

Set in New York, the film follows lives of several couples and singles in New York intertwine over the course of the biggest party night of the year.

Glee actress Lea Michele stars as pessimistic Ashton Kutcher's friend, trying to lure him out of his 'New Year's funk' and have some fun.

Zac Efron is convinced to help Michelle Pfeiffer fulfil a bucket list of life wishes before midnight when she bribes him with tickets she has to the hottest party in town.

Katherine Heigl and Jon Bon Jovi play former lovers who broke up years ago and are reunited. Heigl gets to give the rocker not one, but two vicious slaps in the trailer.

A couple on better terms are Jessica Biel and Saturday Night Live star Seth Meyers, whose characters are expecting a baby.

Biel's waters break on New Year's Eve and they rush to the hospital in the hope of getting a New Year's baby.
