Starring Amy Adams and Matthew Goode. It's about a girl who has been in a 4 year relationship and wanting to get married- so she travels to Ireland to propose to her boyfriend, since in Irish tradition, when you are proposed to in a leap year, you should accept it. But not everything goes according to plan- a storm came and she was forced to ask for help from Goode, and along the way, they fall in love. Overall, the movie was pretty cute and funny. It might be a bit cliche, but it wasn't all that bad, like some reviews say. The main characters had chemistry..and I was smiling and giggling during the whole movie.

I love this movie! I have probably watched it a dozen times or more since the first time I saw it. What he nicknames her luggage. Funny! And how non chalant he is. The bride's wish for her husband was great too! And that whole wedding segment was halarious. I think critics need to have their heads examined.

I love what the bride said too..it was really nice, I might consider saying it on my wedding someday. I don't even get why the reviews were low, since this was a movie not to be taken seriously, but just enjoyed.

The plot is somewhat similar to that of a 1945 British film titled "I Know Where I'm Going!". I saw it a few years ago and loved it. Maybe that's why "Leap Year" didn't quite do it for me. But it has its fun moments. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037800/

Wow.. that was a super old movie.. yeah, it's not really as good when you already saw a movie with a similar plot.. Is that movie fun and comedic or was it more drama.

Yes, i agree.. it was definitely a good romantic comedy. Although some of the situations were ridiculous, it was still pretty fun and both were good actors. Thank you for your response.

I am not really fond of chick flicks, but this one was okay. The cast had god chemistry although I do not now who the guy was, I do now the girl from Enchanted.. it is nice to see her play a more mature role..

Yes, I love Amy adams to- she was so adorable in Enchanted. here, the role she played was a bit different to Enchanted since she was really impatient, not so kind at first.

I love the movie too. It's a feel good movie, and also very funny. The story is kind of cliche, but the way it was presented was nicely done. Indeed, the main characters had good chemistry. The scenery was also breathtaking! I would love to go to Ireland.

yes, I definitely loved the scenery, especially the scene where they were at the castle, it was quite breathtaking... and the one near the cliff too, although a bit scary. The story was new to me, but the ending was yeah, cliche.

It was a good movie. I haven't heard about that tradition until I saw it. I actually saw it with a girl at the cinema, I have some pretty good memories and not just about the movie :). I liked the part when the car broke down.

For some months now I always skip this movie when I think about watching it. I guess it is about time to watch it. Thank you for reminding me that
