Leap Year

From the time I was in high school, I have always had the desire to go to Ireland. I have seen countless photographs of the lush, emerald green landscapes and azure seascapes. Just recently, my good friend and I decided to purchase the movie Leap Year. The movie stars Matthew Goode and Amy Adams. I figured that the majority of the movie takes place in Ireland so, I would get to see some of Ireland through this movie.The movie is about this young woman, Anna, played by Amy Adams, lives in Boston, Massachusetts and is longing for her boyfriend, a cardiologist, to propose to her.However, he does not make any moves to do so. Anna's boyfriend had to attend a conference in Ireland. Being an Irish-American, Anna is informed about a tradition that exists in Ireland where every leap year, a woman can propose to her boyfriend. So, Anna sets out on a mission to propose to her boyfriend in Ireland. Unfortunately for Anna, her plans get derailed.She is stuck in some remote area in Ireland and needs to get to Dublin in time to propose to her boyfriend. She meets Declan, a handsome bar owner who is being paid to help Anna get  to Dublin. At first, the two do no get along. However, along the way, the two begin to fall for each other.  In the end, Anna does not marry her boyfriend, the cardiologist. She decides to stay with and marry Declan in Ireland. Overall, I found this movie to be very sweet and got a chance to see some scenes in Ireland.
