Leap Year doesn't contain sexually explicit scenes like most romantic comedies nowadays. Desperate to make the deadline, Anna hires a ruggedly handsome, cynical innkeeper named Declan (Matthew Goode) to get her to the city on time. That's exactly what she doesn't have on this journey, as she finds herself stranded in Wales just two days before February 29. An apartment stager from New York, Anna is used to staying in control of her surroundings. And that's exactly what Anna (Amy Adams) decides to do when her boyfriend Jeremy (Adam Scott) fails to pop the question before leaving for Dublin, Ireland, on a business trip. The Movie in a MinuteĪccording to an old Irish tradition, a woman can propose marriage to her love on Leap Day. With a few questionable themes, the use of obscenities and instances where the Lord's name is taken in vain, this new film is not suitable for children to watch. That being said, Leap Year is on the cusp of being a PG-13 film. Besides, what were the producers thinking when they decided to release it in a non-leap month during a non-leap year?Ī plus for the film is that it's rated PG, a rare rating indeed as most rom-com's are rife with sexual content. Leap Year is enjoyable and has a somewhat charming element to it however, its predictable storyline knocks it down a few pegs on this critic's rating scale. In the same vein as recent films such as 27 Dresses and New in Town, this new flick starring Amy Adams is simply a story about a man and woman who dislike each other at first, but then fall in love, with a few laughs and touching moments mixed in for good measure. Romantic comedies are not known for their Oscar-worthy scripts or cinematic achievement, and Leap Year, doesn't help the cause.
