Een jonge vrouw bedenkt een uitgebreid plan om haar vriend op een schrikkeldag ten huwelijk te vragen, een Ierse traditie. Door omstandigheden dreigen haar plannen echter flink in het honderd te lopen. Met de hulp van een vriendelijke herbergier zou ze wel eens op tijd in Dublin aan kunnen komen. (Universal Pictures International Netherlands)
Recensie (5)
I didn't have the slightest problem with this film. Thanks to the likeable couple, the beautiful Irish exteriors and the perfectly chosen music, there was always something to see, and the story, which according to the distributor's text on the DVD cover was something like a bland romance, ended up being unexpectedly funny, sensitive, engaging and even surprisingly evolving a few times (I really wasn't sure how everything would turn out, although I had a hunch). Simply one of the most relaxing films of recent times.

I can't help it, but this pleasantly flowing romance set in the beautiful surroundings of Ireland was incredibly appealing to me. I'm quite shocked because I don't really seek out Amy Adams movies. I may have to rethink my relationship with her. Another pleasant surprise for me was Matthew Goode, whom I hadn't really noticed until now. Leap Year also features two absolutely splendid romantic scenes, and that silhouette scene by the lake ending with vomiting really amused me a lot. (80%)

Everything seems to be in perfect order. Ireland is the epitome of a dream country, Matthew Goode displays his loner charisma, and Amy Adams is Amy Adams. But the moment the subtitles start, the inevitable truth comes. Leap Year is nothing more than a filled micro-box. Filled to the tee, but with a desperately predictable pattern where everything is clear, including planned plot surprises. Therefore, the final evaluation must be clear in advance.

My huge weakness for films from Ireland has deepened again. And it might be the biggest cliché ever, but the trees are falling and the sky is smiling even though it's raining. Love in my eyes like crazy. At least three scenes where my eyes teared up and at least two scenes where I couldn't stop giggling. I know very few romantic movies that have that kind of atmosphere.

Another run-of-the-mill romance without a single idea, moreover with barely-there chemistry between the central duo. Amy Adams might be cute, but that’s not enough. However, Leap Year at least has nice Irish scenery and one scene (the departing bus) that moved me.
