Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
kateozxx This is one of if not the finest modern romantic movie, given the remarkable traditional Irish hospitality, glorious pictures, fascinating music and heart touching performance. It reveals the dark side of the human nature, greediness and selfishness, as well as the bright side, that is the beauty of true love. Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. Especially Richard Corliss from the Time magazine. Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.
Sweetigal85 I was really expecting better from the movie, especially since I have always been intrigued by the leap year. It is a classic boy meets girl story which intentionally goes awry before they of course end up together in the end. I just felt the premise was meh and the middle was slow and forced.I am a big fan of Amy Adams and she is adorable as usual in this movie though very uptight. I actually did not like her character in the movie AT ALL which is funny because she is actually a lot like me lol. Super organized, anal, OCD, etc. I know these are not flattering qualities and I do not like seeing them in myself or another character haha.I had never seen the male lead before and although he fit the bill when it came to looks, I utterly despised his character. I know they were going for the opposite of the protagonist, but did they need to make him so gross, goofy and crude? Again, I guess that's what they were going for making him the opposite of her but I really just didn't care for the extreme contrast. Usually I find men 75% more attractive when they have this kind of accent but I found him incredibly difficult to even understand and anything but charming.Still, there are definitely cute parts throughout and a few laughs. Most people I spoke to adored this movie so maybe it is just me. The ending is worth the wait and definitely will leave you smiling. Definitely worth a watch, I just wouldn't watch it again.
Davis P This movie really charmed me! It has just the right amount of romance, comedy, and drama all mixed together. The cast is great and each actor is just right for his/her character. Amy Adams is great in this film, she really does fit the lead role well and she portrays her in a very likable way. Matthew Goode is great as Declan, the owner of a small pub in an Irish village that agrees to drive Anna (Amy Adams) to Dublin. Anna is desperate to get there after her flight is canceled and there is no bus or train. She plans to propose to boyfriend of four years there in accordance with an Irish tradition where the woman proposes to the man on a certain day in a leap year. But, as one might guess, Anna begins to fall for Declan on this hectic journey to Dublin. The dialogue is very well written and the script allows for ample character development for both lead characters, like I said, the romantic chemistry between them is top notch, but it's important in a romance to not only build up a believable romance between the leads but also build them up as people. You must have both so that it's not a situation where either NEEDS the other in order to survive. And this film accomplished that very well. The journey they take is so enjoyable. Plenty of interesting dialogue, breathtaking scenery, and a few comedic parts. I really loved this romance film, everything just worked for me. 10/10.
Nuno Cunha Perhaps I haven't seen so many romantic comedies to feel like this is just another one, but I enjoyed the movie: it has funny moments and the characters seem well construct. So what if you know from the beginning those two would be together? You see them in the cover, you know it is classified has a romantic comedy so you pretty much know how its going to end.Usually, after I watched a movie, I come to IMDb to see reviews made by other users, specially the hated ones. I realized that this movie has some inaccuracies about Ireland, which in my opinion downgrades the movie.
