Leap Year

Leap Year
Jan 10, 2010

You know how this movie was going to turn out just by watching the trailer but I still felt a need to see it. I am a sucker for love stories. Especially ones set in Ireland! One of my favorite chick flick-typical love story is The Matchmaker which is also set in Ireland. Ok...back to Leap Year.

It stars Amy Adams and Matthew Goode. I recently saw The Lookout staring Matthew Goode and I was sold on him! Tall, Lean, Dark Haired, Blue Eyes and has a accent. Hello...Perfect Guy!

Anna (Adams) has to get to Dublin to meet up with her up tight typical business guy boyfriend Jeremy and Declan (Goode) is going to drive her there after her plane gets rerouted due to weather. Typical love triangle. No need to say spoiler alert and no need for me to go into any more detail on the plot. Everyone knows how this will end. Its the stuff in the middle of the movie that counts. I laughed a few times and was charmed by Declan's whit and accent! Anyone that has seen any of Amy Adams movies knows how she just glows on screen and this movie isn't any different.

This was a cute run of the mill - girl has a boy, girl meets a new boy and then we all know what happens after that - movie.

This is going to be a DVD Redbox rental on a lonely Friday night.
