DVD Description
Amy Adams (Enchanted, Doubt, Julie & Julia) and Matthew Goode (Watchmen, Match Point) star in LEAP YEAR, a romantic comedy that follows one woman’s determined quest to get married to the perfect guy… despite what fate has in store for her. When their four-year anniversary passes without a marriage proposal, Anna decides to take matters into her own hands. Hearing of an Irish tradition that allows women to propose to men on February 29th, Anna decides to follow her boyfriend Jeremy (Adam Scott, Step Brothers, Monster-in- Law) to Dublin and get down on one knee herself. But airplanes, weather and fate leave Anna stranded on the other side of Ireland, and she must enlist the help of handsome and surly Declan to get her across the country. As Anna and Declan bicker across the Emerald Isle, they discover that the road to love can take you to very unexpected places. Directed by Anand Tucker (Shopgirl, Hilary and Jackie), Leap Year is from a screenplay by Deborah Kaplan & Harry Elfont (Made of Honor, Surviving Christmas).

I can't believe this has so many negative reviews - ok it's not going to win any prizes for originality but if you're looking for a Rom-Com that will make you smile, make you laugh out loud a couple of times and give you a nice warm glow then this is the film for you! Loved Amy Adams in Enchanted (no I'm not 9!) and had never come across Matthew Goode before (but I'm looking out for him now!). They make a really believable couple - great chemistry. My teenage daughter also loves it so we can't both be wrong. Give it a try - you might just like it!

This isn't the greatest romcom in the world - it almost feels sometimes like the film can't actually remember what it's supposed to be about. The shining light for this movie is the casting - Matthew Goode and Amy Adams make a lovely couple so you cannot help but root for them. There is a definite awkwardness between them which is either very good acting or they genuinely were a bit embarrassed about the script. The pay off at the end of the film is worth the previous 90 mins. Its romantic and feel good. Even though it wasn't great I can't help but want it on dvd. Romantic and clunky, but enjoyable.

Being Irish myself I was somewhat interested in checking out this rom com with Amy Adams, another excellent reason to see any movie.
So, legend has it that in Ireland a woman can propose to a man on the leap day of a leap year. When an anticipated proposal does not emanate from her doctor boyfriend, Anna hears of this legend and so she has to go to Dublin to propose. Imagine. Dublin.
So, Murphy's Law intervenes, and the flight gets diverted, to Wales, and to make a long story short has to take a really roundabout route to get there in a beat up old Renault 4, with an obnoxious yet somewhat charming Irish guy, who gives her no respect. And Murphy, well, he just keeps getting in the way, and will she even get to Dublin.
But, if you put a woman in a car with a charming Irish guy for any length of time, warm feelings can start to develop. So, things happen they way they do, and it's all done with great humor, the scenery is fantastic, it's like an Irish postcard at times. Amy Adams is amazing, and her costar, Matthew Goode is also excellent.
The one thing I will say is every Hollywood movie about Ireland has the obligatory cows blocking the road scene. It does happen, but come on.
I think you would really enjoy this movie, and I highly recommend it. If you like this type of movie, consider
The Quiet Man (John Wayne) [DVD] [1952] (Collector's Edition), with John Wayne and Maureen O Hara, really the classic of its kind, and The Matchmaker [DVD] [1997] with Janeane Garofalo, and most recent Cecelia Ahern's movie P.S. I Love You [DVD] [2008] with Hilary Swank.
I hope you found this review helpful.
