Leap Year

Can I just say that Amy Adams was excellent in this movie? Oh, was she amazing! Anna O'Brady, a lady who designs rooms to present them to sellers for a sale, thinks she is in love with her boyfriend of 4 years. After her hopes of a proposal one night at dinner are washed down the drain, and he leaves for Ireland, she decides to follow him there, and propose to him on February 29th, since it was a leap year, and girls are allowed to do so that one day. But before she is able to get to where she is going, a storm warning makes their plane land early where she does NOT want to go, and she is either stuck at the airport for a day, or tries to find her own way of getting to Dublin, Ireland. She chooses to go. After a bunch of different rides that fail to help her reach her destination, she ends up staying the night in a small inn owned by a man (Declan) who knows much, speaks little, and laughs at her. After much negotiation and then a threat from someone to close his inn, he accepts her offer of a certain amount of money to take her there, but on their way,  they loose his car, and are forced to find another way there. I am not going to ruin the middle or ending of this movie, as it is waaaaaaaaaaay too good for that. =D =D May I just say that the locations where they shots this movie are SPECTACULAR, to die for places that I would very much not mind visiting for a long time. =) =) Amy Adams, Matthew Goode, and several others starr in this beautiful romantic, funny movie. Seriously, it was so hard to keep from completely laughing my head off while on the plane watching this. x) 100 minutes long, rated PG for sensuality (some sort of inappropriate but not things) and a couple words, most I didn't even understand because of the heavy Irish accents. haha x)  Totally one of my favorite favorite favorite (if not my favorite) movies right now. 5+ stars on this one! =) Amy Adams was incredible. =D =D
