“Leap Year” is the best romantic comedy so far this year.
Make sure you don’t count romantic comedies that were released at the end of last year and were still out when this year started.
And make sure you don’t think I mean it is the best romantic comedy there will be this year (let us all hope).
But for sure, when you’ve got a yearning for a chick flick (whatever your motivations) and you’ve already seen “It’s Complicated”, you can go see this and you won’t leave feeling disappointed. Because the end is way better than the beginning and the beginning is what makes you feel disappointed so by the time you get to the end, you feel somewhat surprised that it ended as well as it does.
I am a huge Amy Adams fan but this movie does her no justice. Her character (Anna) has no direction and her back story is limited. Our exposure to her father could easily have been left on the cutting room floor – and he’s the character that reveals the reason for the the entire plot line. The other main character (Declan) is verbally abusive and too offensive for me to really get on board with the shift from enemy to love interest – unless I purposefully forgot the first half of the movie.
Which I managed to do. Thereby making my 6 bucks worth my time last night.
