Amy Adams is always good. In this movie she plays Anna, who is not engaged. She decides to follow her boyfriend to Ireland to fix that. She is following the tradition that the woman can propose on leap year day. Her boyfriend is heart surgeon and they have been dating for four years. However Anna has the most difficult time getting to Dublin where the doctor conference is being held. The weather keeps causing delay and diversion, but she finally ends up on a beach in Ireland. There she meets Declan (Matthew Goode) who hopes to make money by driving Anna to Dublin.
This is a very fun romantic comedy. Anna can be a klutz, which results in her accidentally pushing the car down a hill into a creek, after she steps in a cow dung. Her shoe flips off while she is dancing at a wedding, and catches the pride in the head.
They finally make it to Dublin, and her boyfriend proposes marriage and they become engaged; but the motivations have changed.
This movie is now available on Netflix.
