Happy Leap Day!

According to the movie Leap Year, there's an Irish tradition that says a woman can propose to a man on Leap Day. And that's just what Anna (the character played by Amy Adams) does ... or tries to do ... in this light-hearted romantic comedy. This movie isn't perfect, but I still like it. Matthew Goode (whose character ferries Anna from Dingle to Dublin) is very good looking; and Amy Adams is typically funny. But what I love best is the gorgeous Irish scenery. This movie always makes me long to spend a month (or two!) exploring Ireland's beautiful countryside.


Happy Viewing!

    Sounds like it is a romantic movie the way a romantic movie should be. Fun, charming, hearthwarming without getting soppy!

    KInd regards,

      It is light-hearted and fun. And the last scene will make you smile and sigh. But it does have a few flaws here and there.

    I'm with you. The movie isn't that great, but Goode is cute and the Irish setting is beautiful! Ireland is definitely a terrific place to visit - so much history and so much greenery.

      Yeah, it's always wanting to see Ireland again that makes me want to re-watch this movie. And Matthew Goode. :)
