Leap Year Trailers

When yet another anniversary passes without a marriage proposal from her boyfriend, Anna decides to take action. Aware of a Celtic tradition that allows women to pop the question on Feb. 29, she plans to follow her lover to Dublin and ask him to marry her. Fate has other plans, however, and Anna winds up on the other side of the Emerald Isle with handsome, but surly, Declan -- an Irishman who may just lead Anna down the road to true love.

Reviews
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
sddavis63 The story of "Leap Year" is entirely predictable, so whether the movie makes the grade or not depends on the journey: how do the main characters actually get to where you know they're going to end up, almost from the very beginning?As Anna Brady, Amy Adams is a real estate "stager" (she basically pretties up properties by bringing nice and fancy stuff into the places to make them look better for owners trying to sell) from Boston. She's in a long-term relationship with boyfriend Jeremy (Adam Scott) and she has reason to believe that he's bought her an engagement ring and is going to propose. Instead, she gets ear-rings and he flies off to Dublin on business. Not one to give up easily, Anna travels to Ireland to find him and ask him to marry her, in keeping with an old Irish tradition that the woman can propose to the man on Leap Day - February 29. But weather throws her plans into chaos, and she teams up to travel with with smooth talking local pub owner Declan (Matthew Goode), who's going to help her get to Dublin by the deadline.You get the point. Obviously, Anna and Declan are going to fall for each other. But how's the journey that gets them to that point? It's quite pleasant actually. It's not outrageously funny, although it has some humorous moments. It's very innocent - nothing "improper" ever happens between the two of them. And as the viewer you get some really nice shots of Irish scenery along the way. And Anna herself says to Declan at one point that people tell her that her legs are her best quality - and, indeed, there's a fair amount of focus on Amy Adams' legs most of the way through. But it's always very innocent.It's a sweet movie, as opposed to a great movie. Unlike some I didn't personally feel the incredible chemistry between Adams and Goode, but they worked well enough together that I really wanted their characters to end up together. And with Amy Adams being her usual adorable self (I admit I've been a bit smitten with her ever since seeing her in "Enchanted") this can't really take a wrong turn. It may not be a great movie - but, yes, it's a sweet romance; a very pleasant movie to watch. I'm only going to rate it as a 5 - but I'd say it's a 5+. Not quite a 6, but a 5+.

dadwebber Had many good moments. As a Christian, not sure why His name needed to be used in vain, just once mind you, seems unnecessary. Some skin, not much, there again why when the plot idea is a good one. Liked her as Amelia Earhart in one of the Smithsonian episodes. It was well enough done(I have been to Dingle, etc) to keep us watching.
ladybenites-53113 Loved it- Watched it at least a dozen times. But what can I say- I went to the real Dingle and found love. Movie is romantic and funny. Very underrated romantic movie! Ladies, you will cry every time. Hits the heart. The characters are very real- the emotions very real (if you have ever been in love). Forget the geography (which is so wrong) and go with your heart. Amy Adams plays this part perfectly and Matthew Goode is the perfect Irish love interest. Love, love, love the movie. In real life you can picture the two actors as real lovers- a sign of good casting. Matthew Goode makes women want to go to Ireland.. The favorite scenes are many- from the opening to the landing in Dingle to the scenery (Cliff of Moher, Irish countryside, 'Louie' the suitcase; the wedding; the Bed and Breakfast scene . You will love it- trust me.
