What to Know

Critics Consensus

Amy Adams is as appealing as ever, but her charms aren't enough to keep Leap Year from succumbing to an overabundance of clichés and an unfunny script.

maria p @maria671128 Feb 19 Absolutely loved it. Amy is such a great actress and Matthew is so handsome. I can not take my eyes from him. See more Mary F @MMcDF Jan 11 As an Irish person, this was just cringe on all levels. The main actor's Irish accent was brutal and ruined the film within a few minutes! The rest was very far fetched for modern Ireland. Too clichéd and boring tbh. See more E. C @IzzyB68 Dec 26 I'm familiar w/the primary actors & appreciate their respective bodies of work. Regardless, I am not a RomCom fan. Usually, I roll my eyes & seek shelter in the Sci-Fi/Horror genre(s). Still, every so often, I watch one & am pleasantly surprised. (Recently, I've uncharacteristically watched this one several times.) Amy's performance... Anna is someone that I can connect w/ on several levels. Her expressions & quirks are so adorable & funny! Amy's commitment to this role feels entirely genuine. I feel like I would be fortunate to have someone like her as a friend. Declan... I had no idea that I would be so drawn to this character. (I also wasn't prepared to suddenly find M.G. so incredibly appealing.) As he genuinely embraces his character, Matthew leaves little room to question his dedication to Declan's charm, humor & sensitivity. (I would LOVE to be friends w/ him.) Their commitment to character development, & their palpable chemistry bring it!! See more Noel L Nov 29 This movie was The Matchmaker mixed with The Sure Thing. But the quality might've been lacking a bit See more Zoji E Sep 20 I loved it, and am actually so surprised that the rating for it is so low! The main reason being it's "cliché" is so annoying to me. So what? Someone who barely watches romance movies would like it! It was genuinely so funny! It's my third favourite romance movie ever and it has held that spot for years. The actors were great, the location was beautiful, the jokes were funny enough, the banter was entertaining. Geez, just ENJOY something guys- watch it with fresh eyes- try not to compare it to every single movie you've ever watched just to hate it. See more Jonathan E @JonathanE Aug 13 Like the French countryside in Meg Ryan's "French Kiss," "Leap Year" provides wonderful views of the Irish country side. Enjoy the view.
