Leap Year
Starring Amy Adams and Matthew Goode

Anna (Amy Adams) is a hard-working real estate stager who aspires to move into an exclusive apartment building with her boyfriend, Jeremy (Adam Scott) a busy cardiology surgeon.  After 4 years of being with Jeremy Anna thinks he will propose to her on Valentine's Day.  When he doesn't she decides to take matters into her own hands and flies to surprise Jeremey in Dublinand and propose to him on the one day "the tradition" says a woman can ask the man.  On her way to Dublin she runs into several weather obsticles and luckily meets tall dark and handsome, Declan (Matthew Goode).

I thought the movie was cute, the British Isles scenes are amazing, and I felt giddy every time Declan and Amy got into the awkward situations throughout the movie.  I do have a couple of improvements to suggest: I do realize Amy is quite a bit shorter than Matthew but Anna must have had another pair of sensible shoes in that "Louis Vuitton" bag of hers...and why can't there be more shots with a shirtless Matthew Goode, even if the movie is extended by a few more mintues.
