Unoriginal storyline but pretty damn funny.

Rating: 7/10 (2 November 2014)

Blatant unacknowledged plagiarism. I don't wish to reveal any spoilers, so i will resist the temptation to provide specific examples.. but in general this movie was practically a compilation of references to other movies. Moreover, it was practically an exact copy of the movies Italian Job and Ocean's 11, with the exception of the dance team element. Had credit been given to these movies which preceded Happy New Year's release, and had it been marketed as so, there would be no issues. It was definitely a slapstick humor kind of movie, but was very entertaining. I'd recommend this movie for "time pass" , as long as you haven't seen Italian Job or Ocean's 11, or at least know that its the same story.
