Movie #216 "Leap Year" is a romantic comedy much like many others, two people hate each other, on a journey they learn a lot about themselves and the other person, discover they are soulmates, and come together at the end of the journey --- a 5 star film that set this path was "It Happened One Night." This is no "It Happened One Night." But a huge gauge for me if it's a good romantic comedy is that at the end of the film, I feel I will miss the couple and I truly believe they are in love --- And this film has all that and more, including drop dead beuatiful scenery (it is all filmed in Ireland), cute secondary characters, and a good theme on trying to live your life without regrets. I buy that, I buy the couple (the Irish guy is terrific -- want to see more of him, and Amy Adams never lets me down), and I buy the film.
Average rating: 3.709
I gave it 4 stars
