" When Jake T. Austin came by to talk to Seventeen about his new movie New Year&amp;#039;s Eve, we couldn&amp;#039;t wait to get the juicy details! The movie not only offers an all-star cast, but the love stories (and kissing scenes!), life lessons and positive vibes it offers will have you skipping out of the theatre feeling excited to take on the new year! The movie premieres tonight, Dec. 9, so check out the Jake&amp;#039;s interview to find out why it&amp;#039;s a must-see!  Seventeen: Wow, this cast is amazing! What was it like working with such big name actors? Jake T. Austin: It was good. It was overwhelming the first day, but with a movie like this \u2014 a feel-good film, there&amp;#039;s not as much pressure. Meeting Robert De Niro was a little intimidating, but he&amp;#039;s cool. He meets tens of thousands of people a year probably, so for him, I was probably just another face. But for me, I got to meet an idol \u2014 someone I look up to. It was fun! 17: Did you know Abigail before this movie? J: No, but I had seen her before, and we had known of each other. We had been wanting to meet each other, so this was a good opportunity for us to get introduced. We&amp;#039;ve become really good friends.  17: What was your kissing scene with Abigail like?  J: I can&amp;#039;t speak for Abigail, but I wasn&amp;#039;t nervous. We just wanted it to be a good scene \u2014 it was less awkward than everyone makes it out to be. 17: Did you pop in a breath mint or do anything to prepare for the kiss?  J: No, well\u2026I always keep my hygiene up, I&amp;#039;m good! 17: So what happens with your character and Abigail in the movie?  J: He meets Abigail on New Year&amp;#039;s Eve during the day, and he wants to link up with her again later on to go to a party. He thinks she&amp;#039;s cute, but the only problem is, her mom \u2014 Sarah Jessica Parker \u2014 doesn&amp;#039;t think he&amp;#039;s a good fit for her, especially on a night that&amp;#039;s unsupervised. So the mom puts her foot down, but you&amp;#039;ll have to watch the movie to find out if they meet up! 17: What&amp;#039;s your perfect New Year&amp;#039;s night?  J: I think New Year&amp;#039;s has a different meaning for everyone. For me, I&amp;#039;ve always been in New York celebrating, so I look forward to watching the ball drop and watching Dick Clark&amp;#039;s New Year&amp;#039;s Eve special. But I&amp;#039;d say my perfect New Year&amp;#039;s night is completely unplanned \u2014 and no sleep!  17: Why is love so important on New Years Eve?  J: It&amp;#039;s just the aura, the feeling, especially with Christmas around the same time. Plus, you have the whole mistletoe thing going on. It&amp;#039;s about tradition, too.  17: If you don&amp;#039;t have a girl to spend New Year&amp;#039;s with do you consider that a failure? J: Ahh, I don&amp;#039;t know. It&amp;#039;s always nice to have a girl on New Years, and luckily I have had one the last couple years, but I think the important thing is being in good company and enjoy who you&amp;#039;re with.  17: Why will fans love the movie?  J: Fans will love it because it has guys like Zac Efron and Ashton Kutcher in it! Aside from the cast, the film puts out a great message and teaches you to appreciate your family on the holidays. It&amp;#039;s about having fun and going out and going crazy, but at the same time the film teaches you to cherish those close to you because you don&amp;#039;t know how long they will be around.  Tell us: Who&amp;#039;s going to see New Year&amp;#039;s Eve this weekend?! And what&amp;#039;s your favorite way to celebrate the start of a new year? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
