Inspired by an Irish tradition that allows women to propose to men on Leap Day, Anna follows Jeremy (Adam Scott) to Dublin to propose to him. But after landing on the wrong side of Ireland, she must enlist the help of the handsome and carefree local Declan (Matthew Goode) to get her across the country. Along the way, they discover that the road to love can take you to very unexpected places.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Laughs April 2, 2010

By Imagbarer

Format:DVD

This is one of the cleanest funny movies I've seen in a long time. Even with its predictable ending, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Tell me....why can't Hollywood make more of these movies instead of the garbage they usually make. Can't wait till it's released on DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Leap Year Review June 11, 2010

By Craig Whittle

Format:Blu-ray

LEAP YEAR

STARRING: Amy Adams, Matthew Goode, Adam Scott, John Lithgow and Noel O'Donovan

WRITTEN BY: Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont

DIRECTED BY: Anand Tucker

Rated: PG
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: 08 January 2010
Review Date: 26 May 2010

When Leap Year slid past me in the theaters from doing so horribly at the box office and being plagued by rumors that it was horrible; I wasn't all that let down that I missed it on the big screen. Having recently seen it on video, I was shocked at how amazing it was and wished I had gotten the opportunity to catch it in theaters.

The sensational Amy Adams stars as Ann; a woman so many women can relate to: she's dating a guy who may never commit. Her boyfriend of quite some time, Jeremy (Adam Scott) is far too consumed with bettering his career to even stop and consider marriage - let alone actually pop the question.

When Jeremy rushes off to Ireland for a career opportunity, Ana is left alone wishing there was something she could do. Upon hearing about an Irish tradition, she realizes there is something she can do. She can fly to Ireland and propose to Jeremy herself, as each leap year allots for this to be customary there.

If you are at all like me, you are already skeptical by the premise and if you've seen the trailer, it only adds to such skepticism. However, film works magic with its weak supposition and the trailer fails to provide it with any solitude.

Ana had no idea just how difficult it would be to track Jeremy down. Between being caught in nasty storms, missing trains and being barricaded by a heard of wild animals, it seems she may never reach her love.... All is not lost though, as she is accompanied on these miss-adventures by her unbeknownst to her true, true love, Declan, played by Matthew Goode.

The two can't stand each other for the majority of the film, but we can see their underlying chemistry behind all their bickering. Soon enough, having shared a few moments, and after they let their guard down to one another, they will see it too.

Leap Year was written by the team who crafted such hits as Made of Honor and Can't Hardly Wait. And it has some of the best cinematography of the year, displaying magnificent shots of the Irish countryside that will have you booking a flight there during the movie.

This is the kind of film that evokes thoughts of fate and as a huge advocate for fate, I find this refreshing in films. If you've ever been touched by destiny in your life, then you know exactly what I am talking about. Sometimes we kick and scream at the sight of the path we find ourselves on, only to realize later, and sometimes much, much later, that it is in fact the path we prefer. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect June 24, 2010

By C. Stanley

Format:DVD

Yes, as other reviewers have pointed out, this movie has been done a million times before. There's the uptight woman thinking she's in love with the perfect man (the overworked and neglectful doctor), but she finds that she's only in love with the image of being in love with a doctor- and along the way falls in love with the sarcastic and cyncial man who has been spurned by love in the past. Well then... why did I give this movie 5-stars? I can't pinpoint one particular aspect- the realistic and lovely perfomances and fantastic chemistry from Amy Adams (who I found unbearable to watch in Julie and Julia) and Matthew Goode (why isn't he a lead male more often?), the scenery and setting of Ireland, the catchy soundtrack, and the fact that even though it is a cliche, it didn't come across as one. I fell in love with the characters and their humor, and I find myself wanting to watch this movie more and more. I don't buy many DVD's, but I will be adding this one to my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Leap Year September 27, 2010

By Joseph T. Triolo

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

Charming romantic comedy. Irish scenery is beautiful. Can watch multiple times and still enjoy. Acting is very good. Amy Adams is great. Some food for thought in the movie: "I have everything I always wanted, but nothing I really need."

5.0 out of 5 stars The DVD-What's NOT to like? It be GRAND! May 9, 2010

By Harold Wolf TOP 50 REVIEWER

Format:DVD

SHE flies to Ireland for a "LEAPyear" proposal & meets a pub owner. Yes, predictable, BUT. The journey is so beautiful. Gorgeous in a romantic way, and breathtaking in a scenic way. Add humor and you have a perfectly delightful movie for any age, the whole family, to enjoy.

Declan (Matthew Goode-'Brideshead Revisited') is the pub owner who also, to save the local pub, of course, is hired to drive Anna (Amy Adams-'JULIE & Julia') to Dublin. Anna missed her flight destination by a country (a forced Wales landing) due to storms. For some reason, the boat Anna found to take her from Wales to Cork in the storm bypassed that port and went on to Dingle Peninsula. The good news is, because of the needed cross-Ireland travel viewers get to see the old-world charm of Dingle and the beautiful countryside along the way, through Tipperary, and eastward to Dublin.

Declan's Irish accent will have all the lassies a hankerin' after him.
Country scenes are absolutely Irish heaven.
Some awesome Irish music, but never enough.
The Caragh's Bar looks as authentic as can be, 'cause it tis.
I've been to Ireland twice, & after seeing this movie, remember the cows on the roads, sudden rains, B&B's, and wish to return.
You can almost smell the peat fire mixed with the damp plaster smell in the movie's B&B.
Subtitles and deleted scenes for DVD extras.
It be grand, indeed.

The scenery almost upstages the story, but not quite. It is like the crust on the shepherd's pie. It holds together the romance and humor.

A movie for every romantic, especially Irish romantics. Worth repeated viewing.
