Principles of a successful office corporate party

Corporate events are held on various occasions, from the New Year, to the conclusion of a large profitable deal and the boss's birthday. Often companies do not have the opportunity to organize events outside their offices, but even then, you can come up with something fun and original.

On the page https://mosevent.ru/uslugi/korporativ-v-ofice.html you can get acquainted with the ideas of holding a corporate party in the office and order a service for organizing a holiday. Experts will take upon themselves the solution of all issues, from the script to the provision of props and the holding of the event.

Components of a good corporate event:

  • creativity;
  • bright idea;
  • original script.

Referring to specialists is the most reasonable approach. The event should not turn into chaos; it is important that the employees present at the corporate party have a unifying idea. The presence of a person managing the participants of the holiday is especially important when there are a large number of people.

The employees of the event agency correctly distribute roles, select interesting contests so that every person is involved in the event, getting the maximum experience.

The key principle is the general idea and well-thought-out structure of the event. Look at examples of office corporate events on the website https://mosevent.ru, they will help you get inspired.

  • if you contact specialists, formulate the goals of the corporate party;
  • do not chase low prices, work with professional agencies;
  • host original events, avoid boring and pointless scenarios.

A successful holiday is based on a clear understanding of what tasks you want to solve. If it is available to voice your thoughts to specialists, they will help develop the program of the event.

There are many options for holding a corporate party in the office. For example, you can organize an original show in which each employee will play a specific role, or you can invite experienced animators to the holiday (by choosing suitable characters in accordance with the theme).

Master classes (creative, culinary, etc.) are often held in the office. Why not rent karaoke equipment and compete with your colleagues in performing popular hits?

Set goals and have fun company events. If possible, contact the event-agency for help, which will help you spend an unforgettable holiday.

December has come - the most hectic month of the year: submitting reports, meeting colleagues from all regional enterprises / divisions of the company, exchanging congratulations with partner companies, buying numerous gifts, searching for festive outfits. Everywhere you can feel such an alluring and festive aroma of pine needles and tangerines, the streets are decorated with colorful garlands, the windows are shiny tinsel, the shops are overflowing with Christmas tree decorations for every taste and color, and the heart beats restlessly in the chest, the soul is warm and cozy, something is in the air. something kind and mysterious. The most magical holiday is coming - New Year!

Of all corporate holidays, New Year is the most anticipated. Pleasant New Year's bustle, anticipation of a magical holiday, completion of what has been started, fulfillment of desires. As a rule, New Year's corporate parties are large-scale. Preparation for the New Year begins in advance - 2-3 months, or even half a year, regardless of whether we are talking about a large or a small company. Many companies seek help from event agencies who organize a turnkey corporate event: find and decorate a restaurant, cafe or bar, provide musical accompaniment, invite animators, artists, photographers, define the concept of the upcoming celebration, design and print invitations. Such organization of a corporate party is especially relevant for large holding companies: when numerous employees come from different regional branches, the official part (congratulations from the management, awards, gratitude) is usually quite long, and the holiday itself is an occasion for meeting and meeting all employees who are far from each other. friend for a year.

It is also common when you reserve a restaurant or cafe yourself, and then either you yourself or the agency of your choice for organizing events are responsible for the content of the corporate party.

But if you realized too late, because you thought about it for a long time and carefully chose, and as a result, the banquet hall you need (in terms of area and rental cost) was not available, then you will have to organize a New Year celebration in the office... And this is not so bad, because the standard holiday repeating every year in a rented banquet hall has bored almost everyone. New Year in the office is another holiday format that has many advantages. There is a well-known rule for everyone: the most effective measure is one that is “done with your own hands”. The same can be said about the organization of the New Year party in the company's office.

It's not so bad to distract from the banquet-official atmosphere and stay to celebrate the holiday in a more homely and simpler atmosphere - in the office where we spend most of the time and which becomes a real second home for us. In such an environment employees feel comfortable and relaxed, after all, most of them are probably tired of the annual New Year's officialdom. And if, at the same time, a separate day is not allocated for the corporate New Year and the celebration takes place right after work, there is even less hassle and worries: no need to run home to change clothes, do festive makeup, evening styling, no need to puzzle over who to leave the children with, take with a spouse or not ... In addition, in this case, employees will have much lower own cash costs for a New Year's corporate party, which is often an important factor.

At first glance, organizing the New Year in the office may seem like a difficult and sometimes daunting task, but it is not. As a rule, if the company is small, the HR director or office manager is in charge of organizing any event. Very often these employees already have experience in organizing such events, so it will not be difficult for them to arrange a holiday.

So, the decision has been made: the office! There is one or two weeks to prepare, and during this time it is necessary to write a script, think over a program, decide on a budget (which, ideally, the management should not stint on), the number of guests, and a menu. In this case, the main expense items include organizing a buffet table in the office, encouraging outstanding employees, and inviting artists.

Let's discuss the basic components of an office New Years Eve party.

New Year's holiday program

Usually the holiday includes an official and entertainment part (New Year's program and, of course, dances). The ratio of these parts should be 30: 70 in total. The leader sets the tone for the holiday, who congratulates, encourages, thanks employees, sums up the results, and enthusiastically talks about plans for the future.

A properly thought-out and organized New Year's program is the key to the success of the holiday. It should not be banal, beaten and pretty boring to everyone. It is necessary to create new year holiday concept in the full sense of the word. Naturally, the opinions and moods of the collective should be the reference point. Perhaps you will take into account the preferences and wishes of colleagues about the previous New Year's evenings or organize the mailing of questionnaires with leading questions, or perhaps, as an experienced office manager, you just know and feel the mood of the whole office and will do everything at your discretion.

■ Theme of the evening. Traditionally, the holiday is the performances of invited artists, competitions from the host, joint gatherings. All these components should be united by one idea. For example, you can arrange gangster party,alpine elf party,Indian tribes,pop bands of the 90s, ball of Christmas decorations etc. In any case, it is better for all employees to split into groups and form several teams. Each of these teams, a few days before the holiday, is given a task: to introduce the team, come up with a motto, the appropriate name for each team member, be in the appropriate outfit and with the appropriate makeup.

Take on TV! The scenario of a New Year's corporate party may include a culinary duel between teams, KVN, "Fields of Miracles", "Star Factory" or even "Dancing with the Stars." Of course, this will require preliminary training of employees, but such a holiday will be remembered for a long time.

The holiday gives everyone a great chance to demonstrate their creativity, so you need to remember everything that you were taught in childhood: read poetry, compose charades, dance, act out, improvise. And who knows, maybe it is on this holiday that your talents will be celebrated not only by colleagues, but also by the management.

An invited showman can act as the host of a corporate party, but a bright employee of the company will be much more welcoming: it is he who knows the contingent, the intricacies of the internal office life and will not allow overlaps, inaccuracies and inappropriate jokes that are sometimes found among invited hosts.

When it is not possible to gather all employees in one room (there are many small offices in the office, each of which has a particular department), you can skillfully use such an office space: organize Island party... Each department decides whether it will be the Canary Islands, the Bahamas or the Maldives (or maybe Cyprus?). The inhabitants of the island, dressed in their own national costumes, represent their habitat. You can also come up with your own dream island. Each team prepares a short performance and talks about the peculiarities of their culture. A prerequisite is treating guests with a signature dish and a signature drink. You can come up with the recipe and name yourself. The team should learn as much as possible about the represented island, its traditions and customs, in order to adequately tell the guests about them. In the established sequence, the inhabitants of the islands “come” to visit each other, and after the “round the world trip”, the best island is chosen according to the results of voting.

Instead of islands, there can be cities or countries, which is no less funny and informative. You can also invite the team to conduct, for example, italian new year: in Italy there is a tradition of throwing old and unnecessary things out the window. In our country, it is better not to throw anything out of the windows, but it is quite possible to get rid of office rubbish along with the negative emotions accumulated over the year and written on scraps of paper. Along with this, you can order Italian food - pasta, pizza, tiramisu. Another colorful option - spanish new year: bright costumes, flamenco, delicious cuisine.

In a word, the topic of countries, peoples, capitals is inexhaustible, so for our time there will be enough sources of information to create New Year's scenarios!

■ New Year's performance. If the team has older employees, then it is not always convenient for them to perform numbers and participate in competitions. In this case, all hope is for the younger employees: they present the concert program, and the senior employees are entrusted with the responsible and strict role of the jury members.

Well, without Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, the holiday will not be perfect. Employees from their home office, disguised as everyone's favorite grandfather and granddaughter, can be the hosts of the evening or come just to congratulate and present gifts. You can give all employees the task in advance to write a letter to Santa Claus with a story about their work and wishes. Santa Claus will read letters and reward the best authors.

How to decorate an office?

First of all, do not forget about the need office cleaning, preferably general.

And now a fresh and radiant office can be decorated (remember, this is still your place of work, so choose a fairly discreet decoration).

The main thing, of course, is Christmas tree(usually artificial: less litter, and besides, it can be used for more than one year). If the office has a large hall, then it is possible to install a "wide-format" Christmas tree, if not, a desktop Christmas tree will beautifully complement the reception or reception area. If there is no reception, office decoration should be started from the entrance (hallway, corridor).

Now almost everyone decorates the Christmas tree in the European manner - with monophonic balls. But in the West, this tradition is slowly ceasing to be popular: colorful balls are increasingly used for decoration.

One of the decoration options is miniature postcards(purchased or self-styled). Inform all employees in advance that these cards are intended for New Year's wishes: it is likely that many will want to congratulate colleagues and write warm words to them, and directly during the holiday, you can read all the wishes aloud.

You can organize a "New Year's mail" by decorating a box of stationery, and invite employees to throw postcards there. A reason for employees to decorate their workplace may be a message about the competition "Who will be the most interesting to decorate the workplace?", The results of which will be summed up at a New Year's party.

You can also help turn your office into a fabulous place. air balloons: they can be tied in garlands, hung in bunches, you can also write New Year's wishes and congratulations on them. Bright garlands, rain, confetti, tinsel, gilded cones, artificial snow, small Christmas trees of different colors, figurines - symbols of the coming year (2013 is the year of the Snake) - New Year's paraphernalia there is always a place under the ceiling, on walls, windows and even on festive tables. Colorful posters with New Year's pictures and greetings can be an additional decoration.

Remember: when using garlands, fireworks, firecrackers, sparklers, one should not forget about fire safety rules.

Make yourself comfortable!

The most suitable option is the presence in the office of a large room, or better than two: a hall where the buffet table and the ceremonial part (speech of the head and the award ceremony) will take place, and a spacious office where the entertainment part will take place. Do not forget to organize an impromptu crew of men who will help free the office of office equipment and desks.

To make everyone feel comfortable

  • When allocating seats, you should avoid division by department, job title or any other characteristic. Either the team celebrates together or each department at a different time. A person should not feel slighted because of the seat at the festive table. In this case, the so-called "principle of festive equality" is important.
  • In addition to a large room where the main action will take place, it is important to provide for a small, quieter hall. This is a kind of retirement opportunity for lovers of silence and for those who have decided to take a break from the hectic fun. All employees are different, it is important that everyone is comfortable. When there is no time to retire, more often than not, employees who love silence leave the event early.

We organize a treat

More and more popular are not traditional gatherings at a common table, but office buffet... You can arrange it yourself or order it from a catering company or restaurant. Professional catering services have more advantages over restaurant services. Catering companies can develop dishes according to your wishes only. Such companies have more opportunities for organizing a buffet table than ordinary restaurants. The main advantage of a buffet table in comparison with a banquet is that a buffet table allows a much larger number of guests to be served in the same area as the banquet. In addition, a banquet is more expensive per person than a buffet table.

The most rational size of the buffet table is 1 m in height and 1.5 m in width. To find out how long the table you need, multiply the number of guests by 20 cm. The length of one table should not be more than 10 m. It is always better to put several medium-long tables than one large one. Traditionally, during a buffet table, such small tables are placed with the letter "P" or "T". When it comes to a buffet table in the office, the most suitable option is an arrangement in the form of the letter "W" or "G". Thus, the area of ​​the room will be used more efficiently.

Table setting can be one-sided and two-sided. With one-sided, the table is laid on one side and is often placed against the wall. Reversible serving means serving the table on both sides. This option is more convenient and widespread. In this case, guests have the opportunity to approach food and drinks from all four sides and, moving one after another (as it should be according to etiquette), fill the plates.

Exists several principles for arranging cutlery:

  • On tables covered with tablecloths, stacks of plates are placed, to the right of which there are knives, and to the left - forks. Slightly to the right of the dishes are bottles with drinks and glasses of various sizes. Behind the cutlery, there are dishes with beautifully decorated and sliced ​​portions of pies, salads, julienne, tartlets, snacks. The first row is occupied by small plates, closer to the center - salad bowls. The edges of the table are left free so that there is where to put the filled plates.
  • On one (largest) table, food is placed, on the other - dishes and utensils, on the third - drinks, glasses and glasses.
  • During buffets, there are no chairs near the tables. Nowadays, semi-buffets are quite popular (the guests are seated only at the beginning of the holiday) and the buffet (guests are seated at tables without serving).
  • On the table there should be only those dishes that can be taken with a fork, without using a knife (the word "buffet" comes from the French fourchette - fork).
  • One of the most popular dishes for a buffet table is canapés (skewers are often used to decorate them - there is no need even to use forks). Cheese platter is also an integral part of buffets.
  • Cold snacks (cheese, meat, fish) for a buffet table are cut into small pieces for convenience, because guests eat while standing.
  • When arranging dishes, it is necessary to observe the alternation of snacks: for example, several meat snacks should not be located side by side.
  • For a New Year's office buffet table, it is appropriate to decorate each table with New Year's paraphernalia.
  • For smoking guests (if any), it is necessary to provide for the presence of tables with cigarettes and ashtrays, which are located away from the rest.
  • Additional tables should be provided for spare clean and dirty dishes.
  • General rules for setting the table for a buffet table: in the background there should be dishes that do not lose their appearance and taste over time and with a change in temperature; dishes with ingredients such as butter, mayonnaise, caviar are put in the foreground. Dishes are prepared at the rate of approximately 500 g for each guest. Any gourmet buffet table should contain at least 15 types of snacks and several hot dishes. For a light buffet, you need several types of canapes, several snacks and desserts. Suitable drinks for the buffet table: champagne, wines, vodka, juices.

For a simple buffet table in a modest office setting, there is a minimum set: canapes, fruits, vegetables, cakes, toasts, wine, champagne, cognac. The table can be served with bright plastic dishes with the inscriptions "Happy New Year" and "Happy New Year!", Napkins with New Year's symbols, Christmas-tree bouquets. Under each plate you can put a New Year's wish or "prediction" for the next year.

How to behave?

Let's recall once again the rules of conduct (unfortunately, at corporate parties they are not always observed).

According to etiquette, the management comes to the corporate party a little later, and leaves a little earlier than the rest of the guests. The holiday begins with the opening speech of the leader. The further course of the holiday sometimes depends on what this word will be. When the company is small, you, as a competent secretary, can yourself encourage the manager to say grateful or recommendatory words to this or that employee, having previously discussed these points with the manager and composing an appropriate speech for the speech.

Drinking too much alcohol, coming in too defiant and flashy outfits is a forbidden technique. There are many clubs, cafes and restaurants for adventures. Corporate parties do not exist for these purposes. Remember that it is easy to ruin your reputation, but it will take a lot of time and effort to restore it.

What else should you keep in mind?

Of course, we must not forget about gifts for all those present at the evening and for the participants in the competitions. Whether it be inexpensive mugs, T-shirts, towels with the symbols of the coming year or small souvenirs, the employees will be pleased in any case.

Most companies today provide gifts for employees' children: sweets, cards to toy stores, tickets for New Year's performances. Everyone knows that compliments, gifts, and even more prizes can work wonders.

Remember also to invite all employees correctly: either it will be a separate invitation on a postcard for everyone, or a general invitation letter in the form of a greeting card.

Required elements of any holiday today are photography and video filming. It is also the task of the organizers of the corporate party to determine or find (if necessary) those in charge.

According to reviews, it is the office "original" New Year that turns out to be especially sincere and warm. And let in the process of a self-organized holiday there are small organizational overlays - everyone is all around and someone will definitely come to your aid. Everyone feels more free and relaxed, and the holiday, in the creation of which you took an active part, will be remembered for a long time!

If you've been tasked with organizing an office celebration, the first step is to clarify your budget and make a to-do list. This list is directly related to the established budget, which can be adjusted as calculations proceed. The mandatory items on such a list are as follows:

  1. Ordering meals (purchasing food and drinks)
  2. Buying gifts for employees and employees' children
  3. Holiday scenario development
  4. Purchase of props and jewelry, prizes) souvenirs) for winners in competitions
  5. Office decoration
  6. Alerting employees

Holiday format

The format of the holiday depends on the number of employees in the company. In small groups, you can organize a banquet, when each employee prepares and brings his own dish to the table. In this case, you need to agree with each employee regarding the dishes that he will bring. It is imperative to check your colleagues so that they do not forget about their promise.

For a large team, it is better to organize a buffet table according to two possible options. The first option is to order food from a restaurant or catering company. Catering is preferable, as the dishes on their menu are designed for long-term storage after preparation. In this case, representatives of the company or restaurant will provide you with menu options and calculations.

The second option is to independently purchase and prepare food for the table. This will require not only financial resources, but also the organization of a trip to the store or the delivery of products from the online store and the help of colleagues in preparing a festive table. Make an appointment with them in advance.

In any case, you will have to purchase alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks on your own.

Number of purchased food and drinks

Calculate the amount of food and drinks you need to proceed from the accepted norm of 1-1.5 kg of food per person. This should include meat and cheese snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, and canned snacks. In the event that the total amount is too high, and the director demands to reduce the budget, lower the rate, but not at the expense of diversity.

Calculating the number of drinks is more difficult. Use the following formula:
- for most men - 0.75 liters of wine, 0.7 liters of vodka, 0.25–0.3 liters of champagne per person;
- for most women - 1.2 liters of wine, 0.5 liters of vodka, 0.5 liters of champagne per person.

Water with gas and without gas in the proportion of 30/70%, at the rate of 0.5–0.6 liters of water per person. Juices of 2-3 types, carbonated drinks, etc. - 1.5-2 liters per person. For the rest for dessert, provide tea and coffee in a 60/40% ratio.

Expensive alcoholic beverages, as a rule, are purchased by agreement for executives.

Think about the utensils and tablecloths you might need. It is easier to purchase disposable dishes and a disposable tablecloth so that you do not wash them later, but simply throw them away.

What you need to consider when preparing a corporate party

Even if the office does not have a large room, it can be turned into an advantage and used in a holiday scenario: organize a quest in offices - or turn them into "islands" with a masquerade and performances of employees.

When coming up with a script, it is imperative to take into account the gender and age composition of the team. It is necessary to alternate game and official moments in order for the holiday to turn into a management report on the achievements in the outgoing year.

It is imperative to find a presenter. Ideally, he agrees to be Santa Claus or Snow Maiden. In any collective there is an artistic nature that enjoys universal love.

A very important point is the musical accompaniment. If it is not possible to invite a DJ, you will have to put together a playlist or ask colleagues to send your favorite tracks. You can also organize karaoke, but in a separate room.

Be sure to agree with the director on the time frame for holding the corporate party and notify the employees about it. In any case, the management will leave the holiday earlier, but a situation where the event turns into an uncontrolled party until the morning is unacceptable. Also take care of the organization of cleaning the premises.

In the image and likeness of the Coen brothers, Russo and Vicious, longtime comrades Josh Gordon and Will Speck from the first steps of their careers to this day are an inseparable creative tandem, working together on every project that comes to hand. Having tested each other in the work on the modest short-length articles "Angry Boy" and "Culture", Gordon and Speck disappeared from the field of view of the audience and studio managers in order to gain strength to stage their debut full-length film, which was by no means the most brilliant comedy "Blades of Glory: Stars on Ice ”, whose artistic merit could not be corrected even by Will Ferrell, who in the mid-2000s became a regular at almost every second comedy film of the average category. And nevertheless, the creative tandem of Josh Gordon and Will Speck, which has passed through a whole decade, did not give up, having knocked out the right to stage another film, known as "More than a friend". Enlisting the support of Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman, the directors were able to shoot quite a sweet and unassuming romantic comedy, forging strong friendships with the actors who were clearly not averse to once again looking at the shooting lights of Gordon and Speck. And with such a fortunate scenario, the latter managed to persuade the producers to put them at the head of an ambitious Christmas party with an R rating, known in the domestic box office under the name "New Year's Corporate Party" (originally "Christmas Office Party") without any problems. The participation of Bateman and Aniston spurred other stars of modern comedy to join the cast of the tape, which in turn made the "New Year's corporate party" one of the most remarkable comedies of recent times, given the number of celebrities per minute of timing. And although this circumstance did not particularly affect the original presentation of the material and the liveliness of the production, "New Year's Corporate" can still be considered a comedy that can bring a smile on your face.

So, the plot of the film introduces us to the careless manager Clay Venston (TJ Miller), the head of the Chicago branch of the large technology company Zenotek. Instead of preparing for the Christmas holidays with a pure heart and iron calmness, our hero will face a serious test, because his home branch is going to be closed without undue delay. Moreover, the president of Zenotek and Clay's sister Carol Vanston (Aniston) are going to do this directly. Without any remorse about the decision, Carol focuses exclusively on the business performance and profitability of the reporting units, but her brother tries to grab any saving thread, and the organization of the New Year's corporate party becomes such for him! With the proper scope and luck, Clay has every chance of retaining a large client for his branch, which will provide the hero with immunity from his sister's tough character. And as much as Carol does not oppose the celebration, Clay, as well as his faithful friends Josh (Bateman), Tracy (Olivia Mann) and Mary (Kate McKinnon) are not going to deviate from the plan and will do everything so that everyone will hear about Zenotek-Chikogo!

New Year's and other office parties were repeatedly rolled on the big screens, and therefore Josh Gordon and Will Speck needed to bring an element of freshness and surprise to the repeatedly researched theme, thereby justifying the overly ambitious cast who briskly poured into the production. However, unlike Seth Rogen and the company, which recently walked off a surprisingly attractive "Christmas" and Todd Phillips's guys, albeit not celebrating the winter holidays, but still rested in Vegas so that their adventures will not be forgotten for a long time, Josh's painting Gordon and Will Speck is only trying to sound like a crazy action-packed incident that destroys the boundaries of decency. Still, the directors are stylistically too connected with the comedies of past years, which makes attempts to join the new era of uncompromising comedies from time to time look awkward. It seems that the "New Year's corporate party" actually has a high age limit, but does not fully use the opportunities provided. Gordon and Speck seem to be embarrassed to demonstrate piquant revelations, although at the same time they do not disdain harsh episodes and pointed phrases.

From the cast, I especially want to highlight TJ Miller and Kate McKinnon, who, unlike many colleagues, tried to play their roles without hesitation. The heroes of Miller and McKinnon became the locomotive moving the story forward, for them there are simply no authorities, from which they created their images in the way they saw fit. Somewhat frustrating is the cold apathy of Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston. Quite organically, having played their parts in "More than a friend" of Gordon and Speck, the actors, although they agreed to the "New Year's corporate party", did the work, as they say, on autopilot. Jason Bateman, as usual, introduced his character as a pedantic office worker, who is alien to excessive displays of emotion. I do not argue that Bateman looks confident in his role, only there were too many such images in his career and honestly I wanted the actor to at least sometimes cheat on himself. As for Jennifer Aniston, her acting efforts are also far from self-forgetfulness. The actress has embodied the so-called Iron Lady, whose heart has not yet completely hardened. Aniston rarely appears in the frame, and in truth, her participation in the picture of Gordon and Speck is completely unjustified. Well, perhaps to attract a wide audience that misses Friends and other cult projects with the participation of the actress.

Among the optional but pleasant additions to the "New Year's Party" are the accurate and striking appearances of Rob Coldry ("The Time Machine in the Jacuzzi"), Jamie Chung ("Classmates"), Oliver Cooper ("Project X: Drowned"), Matt Walsh ( "How I Met Your Mother") and many other outstanding comedic performers who have adorned the production with their undoubted talent. They do not have to constantly be in front of the camera in order to properly declare themselves, and the directors clearly enjoyed the catchy parties of the invited stars, while forgetting even about the main storyline, just to give the star cameos how to reveal themselves. Also, the positive aspects of the "New Year's corporate party" include resourceful games and entertainment, some of which are quite realistic to recreate in your own work team. Although, do not forget that everything must be done in moderation. Otherwise, your New Year's corporate party will turn into a truly dangerous farce led by the restless merry fellow TJ Miller.

As a result, I would like to say that “New Year's Party”, despite its ambitions, turns out to be far from such a memorable comedy that one could count on, and nevertheless, the film by Josh Gordon and Will Speck will not be painful for the viewer. The abundance of celebrities, good jokes periodically slipping out, cheerful dynamics and a relaxed atmosphere make the "New Year's corporate party" quite digestible entertainment that can cheer you up. There is no need to expect anything more from this film. Happy viewing!
