I went to a movie yesterday called 'Leap Year'. The premise is that Amy Adams is a high strung realtor in Boston who has been dating a doctor for a few years and is disappointed when he gives her earrings instead of the engagement ring she was expecting. When he goes to Dublin on a business trip, she decides to take matters in her own hands and take advantage of an Irish legend that allows the women to propose to their men on Feb 29. She heads to Ireland where a series of disasters leads her to a down called Dingle where she makes a deal with a bar owner/hotel owner/taxi driver naned Declan to get her to Dublin by the big day. The disasters continue and the inevitable happens... and we all know the doctor is history. Good choice, that Declan.
Amy Adams has the lead and the kid is a charmer. She is a very pretty girl, amazingly even more without makeup. I cannot imagine many of today's actresses who would even appear on screen bare faced. She has a classic 40's actress look.
It's not Casablanca but it was pretty good.
