Leap Year is a rather good romantic comedy, for one of its overly cliched genre. It does follow the classic script: the characters not liking each other at first, but having to cope for some reason. Then as they get to know one another, they gradually fall in love. No  surprises  there.  Why I would recommend this movie though is partly because Amy Adams just does a great job again. Her  classically  beautiful face looks something that is straight out of the 50s. She makes the snotty character of Anna look believable and as a woman you have to give her extra points for running around in those really high heels.  The leading man (Matthew Goode) is nice looking, pulls off the scruffy Irish lad really well.  The comedy situations are  genuinely  funny and you are amused by them, even though you can see some of them coming. The romance is a bit in the background next to the comedy and the journey that they take together and you do...
