Review of Leap Year (2010) by Steve W — 24 Oct 2011
Leap Year is an excellent romantic comedy. I was reminded of Doris Day and Audrey Hepburn comedies. Nothing hilarious, Amy Adams really has wonderful physical comedic skills but still allows her charm to come across and make me smile.
While the movie gets a little clumsy, nothing is bad enough to keep me from appreciating her. Her chemistry with Matthew Goode played well. He was fun to watch as the Irish he-man who lives a casual life with no expectations and no concern for others'.
But then along comes Anna, and their one-track lives intertwine and soon the future becomes less clear. Anna and Declan travel to Dublin finding strangers and situations that force them to examine life and its meaning, or lack thereof.
A forked road appears and we find both now have reason to question a future with or without each other.
