Leap Year (PG) **
10:56am Friday 26th February 2010 in
ANNA Brady (Amy Adams) is deliriously happy with her cardiologist boyfriend Jeremy (Adam Scott) and as their four-year anniversary approaches, she becomes convinced he is about to get down on bended knee.
He doesn’t, and heads off to Dublin instead for a conference.
Following the lead of her father (John Lithgow), Anna spontaneously hatches a plan to propose to Jeremy in Ireland on Leap Day.
However, her carefully plotted travel itinerary falls into disarray when bad weather forces the aeroplane to make a detour, far from her intended destination of Dublin.
Anna is understandably distraught at the prospect of seeing her unabashedly romantic plans come to naught.
Thankfully, handsome innkeeper Declan (Matthew Goode) promises to help her travel all of the way to Dublin in time for February 29, in exchange for the euros to save his ailing pub.
Leap Year is a terrible waste of Oscar nominee Adams’ undeniable talents.
Her globe-trotting heroine errs on the annoying, and we don’t believe for an instant in the burgeoning attraction to Goode’s wastrel with the wandering accent.
All that’s missing is a rainbow to lead the lovebirds to some jolly little leprechauns and a pot o’ gold.
