Welcome another gentleman Brit to possible leading-man status in Hollywood. Everyone else involved should redact Leap Year from his or her résumé.

Poor Amy Adams.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 3, 2020

If a worse film is released this year I'll eat my own weight in cuddly leprechauns. So I will. So I will.

Amy Adams is such a likable actress that she makes the romantic comedy "Leap Year" worth watching even though we've seen it all before.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 3, 2020

Any movie that gives Adams half a chance to show her stuff can't be dismissed out of hand. But "Leap Year" gives her slightly less than half a chance.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 3, 2020

| Original Score: C | Feb 18, 2012

Adams does her level best, but her perkiness quickly wears as thin as her spiky heels on those pesky rural roads.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 16, 2011

Rubbish. Irish eyes will be hard pressed to grimace, let alone smile.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 26, 2010

The film is packed with spontaneous acts of Irish country dancing and twinkly locals beaming over their Guinness. Ireland should sue.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 26, 2010

The only "leap" I felt like making was off a motorway gantry into the fast lane of the M25.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 26, 2010

Adams and Goode are hampered by a witless script, which aims for It Happened One Night cross-country battle-of-the-sexes entertainment but misses the mark so completely.

Full Review | Feb 26, 2010

Adams is perky and watchable and almost saves the film. But it's so dumb: how come the eventual proposal, supposedly set a few yards from the Dingle pub, seems to take place on the Cliffs of Moher, 75 miles away?

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 26, 2010

If you've only seen one dumb city girl fish-out-of-water romcom, you've seen them all. And you will have definitely seen everything that this miserable 100-minute trudge of a film has to offer.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 26, 2010

For all the contrivances, the idiocies and the scenes of pure unabashed tedium the pair won my over, the sight of them together filling my heart with just enough joy I was ready to forgive much that I normally wouldn't.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 14, 2010

In Hollywood, it's all about the concept, and some studio executive must have thought it would be fun to watch Adams slogging around in the Irish mud. Unfortunately, there's no accounting for taste.

Despite its patronizing theme, and however much you're tired of Amy Adams's wide-eyed, neurotic shtick, Leap Year has a winning charm that sneaks up on you and makes you fall in love with Matthew Goode %u2013 I mean, with it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 12, 2010

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

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 8, 2010

The most charming of actors can be left flailing in the face of a feeble script and direction.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 8, 2010

What makes Leap Year so singularly dispiriting is precisely that it is bad without distinction â" so witless, charmless and unimaginative that it can be described as a movie only in a strictly technical sense.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 8, 2010

If the premise seems lame, the actual script by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont is far worse, leaning on so many clichéd situations it's a wonder 45 other screenwriters weren't credited.

| Original Score: D+ | Jan 8, 2010
