Why you should ... watch Leap Year

Leap Year - A Romance with an Irish accent

“Do you wanna talk about it?

"Listen, Bob. You're not in America now, you're in Ireland. So have a drink and shut up.”

Anna has been in a relationship for four years. When her boyfriend presents her with the famous black casket and doesn't find the ring she hoped for she decides to hop on a plane and visit him as he is on a business trip a little later to propose to him on the 29^th of February (the title makes sense now, doesn't it?) But as fate has it, she doesn't land in Dublin but after a storm on a boat ride to Dingle. To make it to Dublin in time she has to find a transportation. Declan, the moody and sarcastic owner of a pub, finally agrees to drive her up. Of course, we can all imagine how this ends and I'm not going into details but it is a happy ending. (surprise!)

You have your typical atmosphere of a romantic movie with good looking actors, scenic views, a bit of humour, a touch of seriousness, apt music and of course, the romance.

I enjoyed the film thoroughly and can only recommend it to you for a nice Irish evening with a drink of Whiskey!
