Leap Year
Overview
When yet another anniversary passes without a marriage proposal from her boyfriend, Anna decides to take action. Aware of a Celtic tradition that allows women to pop the question on Feb. 29, she plans to follow her lover to Dublin and ask him to marry her. Fate has other plans, however, and Anna winds up on the other side of the Emerald Isle with handsome, but surly, Declan -- an Irishman who may just lead Anna down the road to true love.

Will they fall in love? Will we ever care?

Leap Year is a sweet little movie, although so by the books that it doesn't exactly distinguish itself

Leap Year may be the least funny Hollywood comedy to take advantage of Irish tax credits since The Honeymooners.
