"Leap Year" is a romantic comedy, starring Amy Adams as Anna, a Bostonian property stager and Matthew Goode, as Declan, a strong Irish lad, running an Inn in Ireland. Anna travels from America to Ireland, to propose to her doctor boyfriend, who is away on business.
She does so, because she sees a tidbit leading her to believe, this is an acceptable custom in Ireland on leap years. She experiences a number of setbacks, enlisting Declan, who laughs at her often, due to this mission, to guide her through his homeland. Along the way they fall in love.
This was an entertaining film. It had its humorous moments. However, the Celluloid Film Review, can't help but think most women would rather be proposed to, than having to take the initiative. Premarital sex doesn't exactly help with getting a proposal either, as a man will believe the old adage, "Why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free."
