(2010) Leap Year.
DRAMA/ ROMANTIC COMEDY.
Sometimes over-the-top with plenty of awkward moments more than the film can handle is still quite a passable watch which demands some reconstructing or editing! This is yet another romantic comedy centering on an Irish folklore tradition when on Feb 29 every four years has females proposing marriage to their spouses! In this case it's actress Amy Adams and her misadventures into attempting to do just that, and at the same time build a rapport with someone else which is actor Matthew Goode who is being paid to guide her.
It's basically another one of those films where viewers are aware about it's ending without knowing what it can offer in the middle which can sometimes showcase some really good moments, as well as avoidable awkward ones! It also can belloked at as an Irish renditon of a more superior film called "The Sure Thing" starring John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga made in 1985.
Amy Adams is still wonderful to watch which kept this film from going under.
2.5 out of 4.
