Leap Year

enjoyable

Such a funny, happy movie!

I love this movie it has such a cute story and the characters have so much chemistry, it’s a romantic but also a comedy and has the best ending!!!!

We're Irish and totally love actors portrayals, love the scenery, and it was a feel good movie my daughter and I watch again and again.

Entertaining romcom.

You know after viewing Spartacus both Blood & Sand and Gods of the Arena - gladiators, blood, gore, orgies, et al, then on to The Tudors, well, I needed to wind down a bit, so I happened upon Leap Year, and I'm so glad that I did. It was very entertaining, refreshing and delightful. Ireland is quite beautiful. I have to tell you, I loved this film. It was as enchanting as its main actors, beautiful and delightful Amy Adams, and sexy and surly Matthew Goode. I'd like to mention, too, that I enjoyed all the actors, including the townspeople from the various villages of Ireland. They were natural and seemed very friendly and genuine. I always check out the extras in the background to see if they are in sync with the actors and/or the script. The author and director knew what they were doing in this film. I had been following Amy Adams' career since Enchanted and find her to be a class act. She is a credit to her profession, and a shining star. I hope her light never goes out. Matthew Goode surprised me. I saw him in Brideshead Revisited and was very impressed with his performance. He is tall, kinda' lanky, beardless in that film. In Leap Year he has a beard, (a go-tee would have been sexier), and seemed to have had a few more pounds on him, which was a plus for this dude. He looked awesome. I loved his character - Declan. He was funny, rude, gruff, playful, compassionate, and sexy. He was Anna's protector. Her superman, so to speak. She was beautiful, sophisticated, classy, materialistic but somehow Declan made her see the light. They seemed good for each other. She was always in control in the states, until Ireland. I loved Amy's character, Anna. She's in 3-inch heels throughout the entire movie. I know "Louie the luggage" should have had 1 pair of sneakers or flat shoes in there somewhere, but that's make believe for ya'! I enjoyed this movie so much that I recently ordered a couple as gifts and one for me, naturally. Critics mean well and they have a job to do, but just ask us fans what we think and we'll tell you exactly what's on our minds. Everyone has a right to his/her opinion but so often the critics don't hit the mark. Thank God for cable. Leap Year was a breath of fresh air, and it had me laughing throughout the movie, plus the writer had me wondering how the ending would turn out because he manages to sidetrack us. Smart move! Bravo to the author and to the director! You won't be disappointed. I saw a movie back in 1997, with Janeane Garofalo and David O'Hara entitled, The Matchmaker, which also takes place in Ireland, and I really enjoyed it, but not as much as I enjoyed Leap Year. Leap Year was an adventure. No disrespect to the writer, but I would have changed a few things in the storyline--more affection and passion between Goode and Adams. They were a beautiful couple. Not once did Anna and Declan verbally use the words, "I love you," but they didn't have to; they said it all with their very beautiful and expressive eyes. I'd like to see those two work together again, perhaps in a suspense/thriller/action movie or even a series like a 21st century The Thin Man (remember the old flicks with William Powell and Myrna Loy back in the 30's) or another husband and wife team, Hart to Hart. Who knows? Adams and Goode seem to have chemistry but somebody was holding back a bit. Although, Also, in one of the scenes the most passionate kiss was that of the Italian couple. When Matthew Goode turns 40, I think h should be considered for James Bond. He's certainly tall, dark and handsome. He needs to bulk up a bit, tho. Nevertheless, don't knock Leap Year. There are inconsistencies and whatnot, but overall it's a wonderful film. If you want to unwind and get romantic, this is the movie for you. Adam Scott was wonderful as Jeremy and in one of his interviews he is very complimentary of Amy Adams. What a gentleman! He is so sweet--very confident and a wonderful actor. Buy the flick from Amazon.com. You'll enjoy the journey. I certainly did!

If you watch, you’ll know who Louis is. A fun film with great characters. Highly recommend. A good lesson on what to save during an emergency.

This is one of my top 3 movies of all time!!! :) love the scenery, the movie plot, how well done the acting and the storyline are, and how clean the movie is as well!! Best movie ever!!!

Ein schöner Film man kann in öfter gucken

idéale pour une soirée cinéma

海外でも不当に過少評価されている作品として有名のようです。主演のエイミー・アダムズも良いですが、相手役のマシュー・グッドが素敵です。彼はいろいろな役をこなせる人で、「イミテーション・ゲーム」でも「マッチ・ポイント」「シングルマン」でも印象的な演技をしているのですが、全然別人のように見えます。最近では、「ガーンジー島読書会の秘密」でも編集者としてとてもいい味を出しています。

Voyage initiatique pour la jeune femme, qui remet sa vie, toute tracée, en question

日本語はありません。英語が完璧にわかるわけではありませんが、十分楽しめるラブストーリー。　アイルランドの景色、エイミーアダムス好きなら絶対におすすめ。ストーリー、風景、音楽　すぐに引きこまれます。サントラ盤も購入してしまいました。価格も安いしおすすめですよ。
