Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Christine 45 minutes... That's how long I bared with it...I mean, could it be more cliche??? I just wanted a chill evening with a feel good movie to go with it... And what I got, was only confusion and tiredness . Could she have a worse luck? Make a movie people, but at least make it even a little bit believable.. A NO NO for me

jennifertraini I love rom-coms and I love Matthew Goode so I cannot say in good conscience I didn't like this at all but some of the plot devices used here are a tad too traditional and/or surreal even for a movi that is 8 years old.Stager Anna lives in Boston with her cardiologist boyfriend Jeremy and they're about to get a new apartment in the building of her dreams. She senses he's about to propose but doesn't so she decides to surprise him in Dublin and propose on leap day. Due to a turbulence, her flight landed in Wales and she crossed the channel with the tiniest boat ever (if even huge ferries are cancelled, who in good conscience would agree to take her? I digress...). She ends up in a small village where super handsome Matthew Goode (Declan) awaitsIt's the classic hate at first, love later relationship but Declan still agrees to drive her to Dublin because he needs the money. After his car breaks, he rides the bus with her to Dublin: why a guy she's only known for 12 hours agrees to go on the bus with her is really beyond me. Anyway they are clearly into each other but she accepts her boyfriend's proposal anyway only to flee later, after a way too stupid scene (she pulls the fire alarm of their apartment and we see Jeremy picking up stuff but not care about her. Girl, it's not like the apartment is on fire. Chill.)She goes back to Ireland (it makes total sense to give up one's job and life for someone you kissed once, doesn't it?) where he PROPOSES. Now, I am a huge fan of rom-coms but a proposal after spending less than 48 hours together looks odd even in a movie.Anyway if you can look past this, it's still a good movie. The pair has chemistry and Irish amazing nature is a wonderful stage. I would watch it again just to see the cliffs one more time!

Angelika_New_York You know, I had recently watched a film called Leap Year and it isn't as good as I remembered it. The trailer for it was utterly predictable; basically showing you how it ends, which of course can be seen miles away. It isn't necessarily about the destination however, the journey can be seen as vital also. At the time I was not bothered by Anna, played by Amy Adams. Initially I thought it was just a breezy, light romantic comedy; nothing to be taken seriously. Of course, and I still stand by this; Matthew Goode steals this film, although just barely. The character of Anna is absolutely annoying. There are no redeeming qualities about her. I mean, I get it; she is an uptight shrew to Matthew Goode's easygoing, mature Declan. It is a fish-out-of-water, opposites attract, type of comedy but it isn't really likable. The story is paper-thin, which is to be expected, therefore relying on the chemistry and the situational stuff between the two leads.It's basically her going to Dublin so she could propose to her longtime boyfriend, played by Adam Scott since she was expecting a proposal from him at the start of the film. There's supposed to be a significance of doing it on leap year based on some familial tradition. She rejects the idea at first, but then decides to go ahead with it anyway because if she didn't, then there wouldn't be a movie. It's a bit hard to believe this was filmed in the year 2009; mostly depicting Ireland as some backwoods country, where people are walking stereotypes who have not caught up with modern times. I would think it's pretty insulting. There is one scene I like after Anna's expensive shoes are ruined and Declan tells her, "Put 'em in the wash. They'll be grand."

Davis P This movie really charmed me! It has just the right amount of romance, comedy, and drama all mixed together. The cast is great and each actor is just right for his/her character. Amy Adams is great in this film, she really does fit the lead role well and she portrays her in a very likable way. Matthew Goode is great as Declan, the owner of a small pub in an Irish village that agrees to drive Anna (Amy Adams) to Dublin. Anna is desperate to get there after her flight is canceled and there is no bus or train. She plans to propose to boyfriend of four years there in accordance with an Irish tradition where the woman proposes to the man on a certain day in a leap year. But, as one might guess, Anna begins to fall for Declan on this hectic journey to Dublin. The dialogue is very well written and the script allows for ample character development for both lead characters, like I said, the romantic chemistry between them is top notch, but it's important in a romance to not only build up a believable romance between the leads but also build them up as people. You must have both so that it's not a situation where either NEEDS the other in order to survive. And this film accomplished that very well. The journey they take is so enjoyable. Plenty of interesting dialogue, breathtaking scenery, and a few comedic parts. I really loved this romance film, everything just worked for me. 10/10.
