YMMV / Leap Year (2010)

• Americans Hate Tingle: Given how straight the Oireland trope is played here, this film got absolutely slated by Irish critics and audiences.
• Cliché Storm: This is not so much a film as it is the feeding every Rom Com and Oireland cliche imaginable into a blender and making the audience drink the result.
• Fridge Logic: Everything in the story happens because Anna is desperate to get to Dublin where tradition says a woman can propose to her boyfriend on Leap Day. It never occurs to anyone to point out there’s no rule forbidding a woman in America to propose to anyone she wants to any day of the year, Leap Year or otherwise.
• So Okay, It's Average: Amy Adams is lovable as ever, though.
• Took the Bad Film Seriously: The critical consensus seems to be that the film is saved from being an utter turkey only by Amy Adams doing her level best to make her character an endearing romantic lead.
• The Un-Twist: So you were maybe anticipating a "shocking" twist of Jeremy proving his worth to Anna and securing her heart after all, while Declan, after all the Belligerent Sexual Tension and inevitable developing chemistry, does not become the superior choice that she runs to in the end? Nope.
• The Woobie: Amy Adams suffering as the Butt-Monkey easily invokes this. Especially after Anna misses the train, and finally sheds tears at how nothing has worked out on this journey so far.
