Leap Year is a 2010 American romantic comedy film directed by Anand Tucker, and starring Amy Adams and Matthew Goode. The film is about a woman who heads to Ireland to ask her boyfriend to accept her wedding proposal on leap day, when tradition supposedly holds that men cannot refuse a woman's proposal for marriage. Her plans are interrupted by a series of increasingly unlikely events and are further complicated when she hires a handsome innkeeper to take her to her boyfriend in Dublin. The film premiered in New York City on January 6, 2010.
Frustrated that her boyfriend of four years, Jeremy, still has not proposed to her, Anna Brady travels from Boston to Dublin, Ireland to propose to him on February 29, leap day, while he is there at an international cardiologists' conference. According to Irish tradition, a man who is proposed to on leap day must accept the proposal. During the flight, a storm diverts the plane to Cardiff in Wales. Anna hires a boat to take her to Cork, but the severity of the storm forces her to be put ashore on the Dingle Peninsula. She enlists the help of a surly Irish innkeeper, Declan O'Callaghan, to taxi her across the country to Dublin to pull off the proposal in time. Meanwhile, her clumsiness in her room at the inn accidentally causes a power failure to the local village but also opens up the plot of Declans backstory and introduces the idea of a lost love from the picture that Anna finds in the armoire, causing distress from Declan and making it become more intriguing. This causes Anna to later bring up his past relationships as insult.
Just start listening
And don't you say a word
You'd be better off that way
Say you're missing me
But I hadn't heard
Looks like resignation day
Oh I need more time
To find out what I'm missing
Just to waste it
Or get it right
So I waste my breath
Pretend that I'll be heard
Deaf ears hear everything I say
Keep waiting, wish and see
Until you're shown the word
Either way they'll always make you pay
Oh I need more time
To find out what I'm missing
Just to waste it
