Two people from completely different worlds, meet in odd circumstances. Anna, played by Amy Adams, brilliant as she is, lives life with complete planning, scheduling and precise notes, nothing will stop her without a little bit of preparation. Declan (Matthew Goode), is the completely opposite, pessimistic and stuck in his routes. Forced to experience something new and try for once, Declan journeys for pure reason of money, and when planning and scheduling no longer works and bad luck is around every corner, Anna is unable to take control. They both bicker and squabble, hilariously, for the whole journey as they discover they could care about one another. But Dublin isn’t too far away and Anna’s got proposing to do. The film is filled with cutesy romcom moments. The bad luck is repetitive throughout the film as it becomes comical that Anna would accidentally hit a bride in the face with her shoe and then pour red wine down the white wedding dress in apology. There are obviously many moments of cutesy romance, where these two forced together in squabbles and unfortunate circumstances. Anna’s determination and Declan’s pessimistic charm remain throughout the film as you fall in love with both characters. There is a lot of character building and you really become to know the characters on this journey of hail, rain and sun. ‘Leap Year’ is an easy watch and a great romcom, a chickflick some may say. With characters to be appreciated and comical moments. It is enjoyable and I’ve seen it numerous times. If you’re looking for a romance comedy you’ve never seen before, I would recommend this one. It isn’t one of the classic romcoms, like ’10 Things I Hate About You’ or ‘John Tucker Must Die’ or even ‘When Harry Met Sally…’, but it’s still enjoyable and should be appreciated.It is unfortunate that film critics wrote Leap Year off as just another two star romantic comedy. Leap Year is actually a love story set in a timeless world, beautifully filmed with a deep message about the human heart.
Like a crystal prism held up to the light, the film reflects the glory of another story.one that is ancient and true. The story begins with Anna, lover of expensive shoes. She is a very worldly young woman overcoming the insecurity of her childhood by working her way to the top. Staging real estate for a living (creating false rooms for show), she and her cardiologist boyfriend are applying to a very exclusive apartment building for permission to buy an apartment. After four years of living with this man, Anna wants a marriage proposal. What she gets is an interrupted "appreciation" dinner and a pair of diamond earrings. Determined to have her way, she decides to follow the cardiologist to Dublin and make her own marriage proposal on February 29 th.because it's a tradition. What Anna doesn't have on her schedule and what won't work for her is the storm that causes her plane to divert from Dublin to Wales. Yet, even this boat is forced to change course. This is a wonderful scene - like an exodus coming out of a world of bondage or a baptism into a new life. Anna arrives all alone on a distant shore of a strange new world with her high heels buried in sand! One light shines in the darkness - the local pub. A public watering hole, you might call it.
