FIlm Review: Leap Year
You know a film is bad when Amy Adams is cliche. This film smacks of "They hate each other...but they don't!"-isms that have been trotted out over and over again to the point where even women are ignoring these types of films. And for a guy like me it's just plain garbage.
Anna (Amy Adams) travels to Dublin, Ireland on Leap Day to propose to her boyfriend because legend says he can't refuse on that day. In Ireland, she befriends a man named Declan (Mathew Goode) who annoys here, but is also charming to her. They soon develops feelings for each other..but what about Anna's proposal?
The single thing that keeps this dreck a-float is Amy Adams. Like Anna Farris, she should be doing much juicier roles than this rom-com stuff. She is spectacular here and can be found funny and likeable. The rest of the cast, though, sleepwalk through the film and her boyfriend dosen't seem to show much emotion ever.
The film like the cast can be described as this: A little charming, but really mediocore overall.
Rating: 5.2 out of 10 or C-
