Leap Year

My wife got this movie on Netflix. It was, predictably, my wife's turn to pick the movie. Amy Adams stars as a young woman on the corporate track who has a long term relationship with a surgeon. She expecting a marriage proposal gets a big dinner date...earrings. She is disappointed.

Later when he is in Ireland on a conference, remembering that her grandmother told the story of how she proposed to her grandfather on Leap Day, an allowance to women by tradition on that day she resolves to go to Ireland to do this.

What happens is a series of tragedies of airplanes landing in the wrong towns, getting socked in and then finding a local bar owner to taxi her to Dublin. Trouble ensues and she learns much about herself.

A date night movie for sure but one with Adams who has that uniqueness in that she is cute and attractive but not threatening so everyone enjoys her. My wife enjoyed the movie and after a half hour of keeping track over my book I stopped the pretense and enjoyed it with her.
