I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

This movie was on my radar for some time and it managed to do a rom-com's job. It was entertaining and had some funny moments. The lead actors had an easy chemistry and their banter was fun to watch. Most importantly, I was invested in the story from the get go.Anna (Amy Adams) has planned to propose to her boyfriend of 4 years. She has planned the proposal at Dublin, Ireland, where according to Irish customs, it is good luck for a woman to propose to a man on Leap Day. As she journeys from America to Ireland, where her boyfriend is attending a conference, she runs into bad luck when bad weather conditions put a damper on her plans. She finds herself in a bar where she meets Declan (Matthew Goode), who ultimately agrees to take her to Dublin by road, for a price. A black cat crosses her path before she begins her journey and villagers notify her that it would bring bad luck, but she continues on her path. Well, apparently the villagers were right. They got into trouble at almost every step.Amy Adams does the role of a neurotic best. She seemed to fit into the character's shoes so comfortably. Her frustrations with travelling to Dublin were rendered even funnier with her facial expressions. Matthew Goode was also quite good in his role as a cynic. Their chemistry was very fluid and real.The backdrop was absolutely breathtaking and the supporting characters enriched the film furthermore. The dialogue was crisp and witty and the comedy of errors, really engaging. Suspension of belief is a big requirement for this film since a lot of the events are slightly improbable, but overall, this was a good one-time watch. I enjoyed it a lot.

I'll be honest: I watched this because of Amy Adams. I've recently become a huge fan, so I've been catching up on her previous stuff.I loved this. OK, I'm a guy, I'm not into romantic comedies (and, yes, because of that I don't like The Princess Bride). But, Amy is so captivating in this pleasant, little movie, it's hard not to like it.The story is contrived. Hey, it's a romantic comedy, right? The woman is engaged to a swine, she decides to do something romantic, she goes through mayhem and misfortune achieving her goal, she falls in love with the callous guy who's helping her (who turns out to be the guy she's been waiting for all her live), finally meets up with her boyfriend, finds out he only cares about his job, returns to the guy and lives happily ever after.Right? That's the model.Yet, in Amy's hands, her character is completely believable. Even delightful. Adams doesn't phone this one in. She's on the top of her game (as she is in everything she does). I even laughed out loud in some places (and anyone who knows me will tell you that's a compliment).So, give this one a try. No, it's not Arrival. Nor is it Enchanted. But, it's charming, fun, and you'll fall in love with Amy's character.

Had many good moments. As a Christian, not sure why His name needed to be used in vain, just once mind you, seems unnecessary. Some skin, not much, there again why when the plot idea is a good one. Liked her as Amelia Earhart in one of the Smithsonian episodes. It was well enough done(I have been to Dingle, etc) to keep us watching.

Loved it- Watched it at least a dozen times. But what can I say- I went to the real Dingle and found love. Movie is romantic and funny. Very underrated romantic movie! Ladies, you will cry every time. Hits the heart. The characters are very real- the emotions very real (if you have ever been in love). Forget the geography (which is so wrong) and go with your heart. Amy Adams plays this part perfectly and Matthew Goode is the perfect Irish love interest. Love, love, love the movie. In real life you can picture the two actors as real lovers- a sign of good casting. Matthew Goode makes women want to go to Ireland.. The favorite scenes are many- from the opening to the landing in Dingle to the scenery (Cliff of Moher, Irish countryside, 'Louie' the suitcase; the wedding; the Bed and Breakfast scene . You will love it- trust me.
