Leap Year

Leap Year is not your typical love story in which the plot is about a lady who is about to propose to his boyfriend and on the process of doing so, she meets this guy who is completely not her type but then falls for him. I guess if you're meant to be, you're meant to be, if not, then it's not your day. All I can say is that love happens in the most unexpected place, time or turn of events, you would not know it and you really can't prepare for it, you just need to be yourself when it comes.

The movie Leap Year has a different kind of story since it is the girl who will be the one to propose to her boyfriend not the other way around which we are used to. It is something new although it reflects some of the characteristics of other girls who are aggressive and the go getter. Amy Adams did a good job on her role because like the usual American girl, she is liberal so she does anything she wants to do. On Matthew Goode's part, I think it would have been nicer if the character Declan would be better of a more bad ass type not like him, although he has some attitude which I guess that pulled of character.

The setting was appropriate since how would Amy Adams fall for Matthew Goode if the setting would be in an urban area where there are lot of distractions. they needed a secluded place to be closer together and that there is no one to run to if there is trouble other than Matthew Goode. It would make him the hero all the time. The music added to the emotions so that every time they have an passionate or cheesy scene, it would get the audience somewhat feel what the characters are feeling in the film.

All in all, I liked the movie even though if it was a different kind of love story.
