Leap Year is a romantic comedy with the most absurd premise yet, “the girl who is always in control” yet can’t be bothered to have an honest talk about her relationship with her boyfriend decides to go to Ireland for the one day every four years women can propose to men. Yeah. And while there she meets some Irish dude who she falls in love with instead. We also got her overcooked friend yakking about little bags from jewelry stores, pretending to have surprised faces, and more fish out of water situations than a fish market. We also have John Lithgow fresh off his crazy killer part in Dexter that adds a sick twist to Leap Year the producers probably weren’t expecting as they were watching their 3rd Rock DVDs. The trailer even has Amy Adams getting proposed to by her loser boyfriend, so all we need to see when we watch the film is the last five minutes when she leaves the loser boyfriend and tells the Irish hunk taxi dude “I want to marry YOU!”
Then she gets killed by a leprechaun!
