Sexy men with foreign accents? Check. The charm and wit of the lovely Amy Adams? Check. A happy ending you can't help but smile over in spite of its predictability? Check. If you love love stories, Leap Year is a must-see.
After dating Jeremy (Adam Scott) for a few years with no engagement in sight, straight-laced Anna (Amy Adams) decides to takes matters into her own hands and, in true Irish traidition, fly to Dublin to propose to her boyfriend on leap day. But Anna's trip doesn't go quite as smoothly as she'd hoped. Peppered with a series of seriously unfortunate roadblocks, including cancelled flights, sunken cars and missed trains, Anna ends up trekking across Ireland with local bartender Declan (Matthew Goode), and on the way learns to find love in the most unexpected of places.
All in all, Leap Year is a super-cute romantic flick with, albeit a slightly predictable series of events, a number of laugh-out-loud moments and incredibly heartwarming ending that is sure to please (and leave you itching to jump on a plane to go abroad and nab yourself a sexy, soul-mate Irishman!). I'm a real sucker for love stories and this one's ending left me nothing short of giddy while walking out of the theatre, so all you chick-flickers out there, head out to theatres to see Leap Year on February 8th!
