Leap Year
2010 · 1h 40m · Romance, Comedy
SKIP. This is a paint-by-numbers romantic comedy that hits every predictable beat—uptight woman, rugged love interest, contrived meet-cute, inevitable feelings. Unless you're specifically craving low-stakes comfort-watch fodder on a lazy night, there's nothing here that justifies your time.
Plot
When yet another anniversary passes without a marriage proposal from her boyfriend, Anna 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.
