My Big Night (Spanish: Mi gran noche) is a 2015 Spanish comedy film directed by Álex de la Iglesia, who also co-wrote it with Jorge Guerricaechevarría.

José has been sent by the employment agency as an extra for the taping of a New Year's Eve television special (four months in advance) in an industrial pavilion just outside Madrid, leaving his mother Dolores (an old woman unable to detach herself from a big crucifix she tore from her husband's grave) alone. He is replacing another extra who died in the wake of an accident involving a production crane during a reharsal. Hundreds of people like him are locked in the set, replaying reharsal after reharsal, applauding for musical performances they do not actually see and celebrating the false arrival of the new year. José starts to fall for dinner companion Paloma (a jinxed woman) to the amusement of the rest of extras sharing the table (Antonio, Yanire, and Josua). Meanwhile major clashes of egos are unfolding backstage.
