Just watched an amazing movie titled “Leap Year”. It is a sweet romantic flick which definitely leaves you impressed. It surely left a big smile on my face. The movie is all about a girl named Anna Brady from Boston who plans to propose her boyfriend Jeremy (a boring cardiologist) on February 29 which is a leap day. The story draw its theme from the Irish tradition that says a woman can put forward a marriage proposal to a man on the leap day and the man has to accept it. After four years of dating Anna is sure that he is the guy and so takes on the journey.
What follows is the journey of Anna to Dublin in Ireland. The movie has a marvelous Irish backdrop to it. Anna in her journey meets Declan an Irish guy who thinks her plan to fly down thousand miles to propose to her guy is crap and most idiotic person can do such thing. Declan is a typical mean guy on the lines of Gerald Butler of the Gone with the Wind fame. So here it is the story of Anna and Declan - an adventurous, beautiful, romantic one. Anna believes in living a planned life and has a plan for each day and moment while our handsome Declan is just the opposite. What happens next is a series of unfortunate but hilarious events that makes her journey quite adventurous and interesting for us. There are moments of romance and laughter as the story proceeds. The movie has a nice pace and I enjoyed it a lot. The end is quite predictable but a lovely one. Enjoyed every bit of it. The film is all about living in today and enjoying the present. Hope someday I too go on such wilderness but not with the intention to find a guy but to enjoy the journey!!! J
