When yet another anniversary passes without a marriage proposal from her boyfriend, Anna (Amy Adams) decides to take action. Aware of a Celtic tradition that allows women to pop the question on Feb. 29, she plans to follow her lover to Dublin and ask him to marry her. Fate has other plans, however, and Anna winds up on the other side of the Emerald Isle with handsome, but surly, Declan -- an Irishman who may just lead Anna down the road to true love.

Critics Consensus

Amy Adams is as appealing as ever, but her charms aren't enough to keep Leap Year from succumbing to an overabundance of clichés and an unfunny script.

Welcome another gentleman Brit to possible leading-man status in Hollywood. Everyone else involved should redact Leap Year from his or her résumé.

If a worse film is released this year I'll eat my own weight in cuddly leprechauns. So I will. So I will.

3/4

Almost everything you need to know about Leap Year is in the trailer. Why do you need to see the movie? ...You sit through this movie because you enjoy romantic comedies and the warm feelings they give you.

Nothing deep, but its serendipity nature is uplifting for those of us who believe that life is full of surprises and somehow it works out the way it's supposed to be.

I love this movie. Although it doesn't have the deepest if character development it is rather dry and funny humor.

This vastly underrated film is one of my all-time favorites. It is funny as well as romantic--with great scenes in Dingle and Dublin. Matthew Goode is good, but Amy Adams is just amazing--especially in the kissing scene in the Irish B&B. So convincing! I watch this great movie every chance I get!

Im 20 minutes in and its the most annoying movie Ive seen in a while. Based on the reviews it must get a lot better but I dont think I can spend the time it will take to find out.
