Review of Leap Year

Wait for the DVD

Leap Year is a forgettable yet unobjectionable romantic comedy starring Amy Adams as Anna, a too-organized apartment “stager” who flies to Dublin to propose to her boyfriend who’s attending a medical convention.  Of course, she only makes it to seaside Dingle and must rely on Declan, the scruffy but likable pub owner, to get her to Dublin.  Anyone who’s seen It Happened One Night or The Sure Thing can guess what happens to the young couple as they travel from one misadventure to another.  While it could have been worse, Leap Year offers pretty people and landscapes but nothing original.
