Leap Year



I would have to say...see this movie. I have never been to Ireland but after seeing all the the wonderful scenery in Ireland in this movie, I am aching to go. I am also wanting to fall in love with a cute scruffy Irishman.

This was a wonderful little romantic comedy. Amy Adams is typed cast in this movie, but she does so well in a cute, funny, and helpless in love character. Her comedic timing is amazing! She makes me want to be her as well. That gorgeous red hair and big blue eyes and she sure can walk in those high heels.

Matthew Goode is very good in this movie. I don't recall ever seeing him in anything else, but I am researching to see what else he is in, so I can watch it. He is yummy. I didn't think I would ever use yummy when talking about a man, but I just did.

The basic plot of the movie is that Anna(Amy Adams) has been dating a man for several years and feels that they should be getting engaged. He leaves on a business trip to Dublin and she decides she should follow a family tradition and propose to him on Feb 29th(hence the name of the movie). Anyway, most of the plot deals with her adventures to get to him because her travel plans get messed up. Declan(Goode) helps her get to Dublin.

I will not give you any other details because I always feel that ruins movies for people, but please see this if you are sucker for romantic comedies because this is the best I have seen in a while! FIVE Golden Monkies
