Leap Year

I will state up front that I am biased by the blinding hotness of Matthew Goode, who plays the irresistible Declan, the superhot (sorry, did I already mention that?) pub owner who offers to drive Anna (Amy Adams) to Dublin. Why is she going there? Well, to propose to her cardiologist boyfriend who just won’t pop the question. And of course this is allowed because it’s a leap year.

You don’t have to have passed Matric on higher grade to guess what’s bound to happen. Hello? Road trip in a really tiny car with a hot (sorry, can’t help myself) guy who turns out to be everything you’ve ever dreamed of… Then comes the proverbial spanner in the works – in the form of cardiologist boyfriend who shows up all enlightened after realising that Anna is the woman he wants to marry (if you like it then you should have put a ring on it, buddy).

Ahh, romcom drama at its best. If the shmaltz is making you break out in hives already, avoid at all costs.

Rating: 3.5 outta 5.
