Plot: On New Year's Eve, no one wants to be alone. On this night in 1981, several different groups of young desperate people begin a journey from around New York City to a big party hosted by Monica (Martha Plimpton) and new friend Hillary (Catherine Kellner). As the hours pass and no one shows, Monica begins to unravel. She must bribe Hilary to stay with the promise of a clear shot at Monica's old boyfriend, Eric (Brian McCardie). Eric, at that moment is drinking in a nightclub with his new girlfriend, Bridget (Nicole Parker) and her friend Caitlyn (Angela Featherstone). When Bridget learns the host of the party is Eric's ex-girlfriend, she moves in on the bartender (Ben Affleck). Another group consists of two teenagers from Long Island, Monica's cousin Val (Christina Ricci) and Stephie (Gaby Hoffmann). The two get lost on the way when they run into a pair of punk rockers, Tom (Casey Affleck) and Dave (Guillermo Diaz). In a nearby diner, Lucy (Courtney Love) commiserates with her best friend Kevin (Paul Rudd) who has just been dumped by performance artist Ellie (Janeane Garofalo) so she could move in with her therapist. As they bar hop it slowly dawns upon the two that they could be more than friends. Elsewhere, new acquaintances Jack (Jay Mohr) and Cindy (Kate Hudson) are celebrating more than the new year. Cindy lost her virginity to Jack the night before, though is afraid Jack is with her out of sense of obligation. Now if only everyone can get to the party by midnight. Linking the different stories is the disco cabbie (Dave Chappelle) in whose cab the party never stops. ~ Ron Wells, All Movie Guide

We watch this every New Year

This movie starts out a little slow but is well worth hanging in there. It's a funny take on '80s mentality with several story lines. I laugh out loud just thinking back to lots of scenes, including a memorable thread that features Dave Chapelle as a stoned philosopher/cab driver, interacting with lots of the characters that move in and out of focus in this film. It's one of my holiday favorites.

New Year's Tradition
Added 9/27/2007

I haven't watched my copy of the movie yet, but I simply love this flick. My sister and I watch this with friends every year around New Year's. It's become tradition. The movie is funny, cynical, happy, has a great cast, and is just plain great.

200 Cigarettes- one of the best all-time movies!!
Added 6/2/2007

I had seen this movie once on tv a long time ago since it was released in the early 80's. The movie shows the best of the 80's in the way they dressed, talked and partied- you will instantly want to go back to those days!!

The whole movie takes place over one new year's eve in new york and is so entertaining, wickedly funny with an intelligent comic scenes throughout the movie. Everybody managed to act so naturally; when they are drunk, happy or angry it is breathtaking and makes you giggle all the way.
Ben Affleck, Courtney Love, Kate Hudson, Paul Rudd, Dave Chapelle, Janeane Garofalo, Christina Ricci all in one movie!

Highlights issues like friendship between a guy and a girl, then getting drunk and messing it up, falling in love, virginity& innocence, despair on new years eve on getting off with any guy, teenagers& punks and the madness about this endless night. Rumour has it that they really do smoke 200 cigs during the film.

Puts you in a brilliant party and friends mood! The 80's were fantastic! So much fun, why not make part 2?
