Leap Year

On Tuesday, January 26, 2010, I went to see the film Leap Year, featuring Amy Adams and Matthew Goode.

This movie is about Amy Adams' character, Anna Brady who is tired of waiting for her current boyfriend, Jeremy - played by Adam Scott, to propose to her. She finally gets some news from her friend saying that Jeremy was seen coming out of a jewelry store and that only means one thing, that their proposal was imminent.

However, she was disappointed that evening when Jeremy gives her a pair of earrings. So, she decides to take matters in her own hands... According to an Irish tradition, a woman can propose to a man on February 29, a chance for women every four years... Since Jeremy just happens to be in Ireland for a conference, she thought that it would be a perfect way to do it!

On her way however, her plane gets redirected to Wales because of bad weather and she has to try to find her way to Ireland and to Jeremy. This is where Matthew Goode's character, Declan, comes in... She hires a taxi, which happens to be him, to drive her to Dublin.

I won't go into more details here, because I may give the movie away. Perhaps a bit predictable, but it was a funny movie that makes you feel warm inside. Well, I thought like that anyway. I really enjoyed it and I am thinking that this film may be added to my collection. However, I am a sucker for films like this.
