“This is a sweet, funny romantic comedy. Itu0026#39;s silly at times. However, whatu0026#39;s silly about it is the situations and some of the plot points. On the flip side, the actors are great dramatic actors and the dialogue isnu0026#39;t over the top silly, so the performances and moments between the two main characters bring it down to earth.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow keep in mind that the premise of this story is about a woman who dashes off to Ireland to propose marriage to her boyfriend Leap Day, because according to Irish tradition, a man who receives a marriage proposal on a leap day must accept it. Bright idea, right? So therefore, youu0026#39;ve been warned before you even turn this movie on that it is time to suspend some disbelief and enter the world of light, fun romance. I watch a fair number of romantic comedies, and to me, this is one of the better ones because it is funny but it has a lot of heart. Amy Adams is luminous as always, and Matthew Goode is really hilarious when he needs to be, and soulful when it calls for it. The big bonus to this movie is the atmosphere, scenery, and locations! It will make you want to travel to Ireland.”
