Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

"Leap Year" is a romantic comedy in which we watch a woman trying to go to Dublin, Ireland in order to propose marriage to her boyfriend because according to Irish tradition, a man who receives a marriage proposal on the 29th of February must accept it. In her trip she comes in front of many unexpected events and she meets a man who can help her to finally arrive to Dublin.I did not have high expectations of this movie since it's a romantic comedy but I have to admit that at some points of it I laughed a lot. The plot is pretty simple with some cliché but not so boring. The direction made by Anand Tucker is at the same level as the plot but the cinematography is amazing if we think that this movie took place in Ireland which landscape is simply beautiful. In addition to this it has to be mentioned the interpretation of Matthew Goode who played as Declan and he was outstanding at his role and simply hilarious in some points. Amy Adams who played as Anna makes an average interpretation in this movie.Finally I believe that "Leap Year" is a simple romantic movie with some funny moments. It's a good movie to spend your time but not expect much from it. I recommend this movie to everyone to watch and especially to couples which I believe they will have a very good time watching it.

Look, I get it - chick flicks are rarely good movies. But this one sucked. There was no chemistry, the plot was contrived, the characters had no likability, and the fetishization of Ireland was disgusting. I wouldn't recommend this to torture my worst enemy. Thank god Amy Adams has realized her mistake and moved onto bigger, better things.

You know, I had recently watched a film called Leap Year and it isn't as good as I remembered it. The trailer for it was utterly predictable; basically showing you how it ends, which of course can be seen miles away. It isn't necessarily about the destination however, the journey can be seen as vital also. At the time I was not bothered by Anna, played by Amy Adams. Initially I thought it was just a breezy, light romantic comedy; nothing to be taken seriously. Of course, and I still stand by this; Matthew Goode steals this film, although just barely. The character of Anna is absolutely annoying. There are no redeeming qualities about her. I mean, I get it; she is an uptight shrew to Matthew Goode's easygoing, mature Declan. It is a fish-out-of-water, opposites attract, type of comedy but it isn't really likable. The story is paper-thin, which is to be expected, therefore relying on the chemistry and the situational stuff between the two leads.It's basically her going to Dublin so she could propose to her longtime boyfriend, played by Adam Scott since she was expecting a proposal from him at the start of the film. There's supposed to be a significance of doing it on leap year based on some familial tradition. She rejects the idea at first, but then decides to go ahead with it anyway because if she didn't, then there wouldn't be a movie. It's a bit hard to believe this was filmed in the year 2009; mostly depicting Ireland as some backwoods country, where people are walking stereotypes who have not caught up with modern times. I would think it's pretty insulting. There is one scene I like after Anna's expensive shoes are ruined and Declan tells her, "Put 'em in the wash. They'll be grand."
