Leap Year is a 2010 American romantic comedy film directed by Anand Tucker. The film,
which stars Amy Adams and Matthew Goode,
premiered in New York City on January 6, 2010.
Anna Brady (Amy Adams) plans to travel to Dublin, Ireland to propose to her boyfriend Jeremy
(Adam Scott) on February 29, leap day, because, according to Irish tradition, a man who
receives a marriage proposal on a leap day must accept it.[3] While mid-flight to Dublin,
there is a storm and the plane diverts to Cardiff, 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 (Matthew Goode), to
taxi her across the country to Dublin to pull off the proposal in time, and begins to
question her intentions with Jeremy when she makes a connection with Declan.
At first, Declan refuses to drive Anna to Dublin, but after his inn is threatened with
foreclosure the next morning, he agrees to drive for €500. The two set out in Declan's
rickety car, but they quickly run into a herd of cows. Anna shoos them away but steps
in cow dung, causing her to lean against the car, which wheels back into a lake. Angry
at Declan, Anna walks away from him; she stops a car for a lift and after offering to
take her bag they drive away with her luggage to the delight of Declan.
The two eventually reach a bar where they discover the men going through Anna's luggage.
Declan punches them, and they are both kicked out by the landlord. They eventually reach
a train station by foot. While passing time waiting for the train at a nearby castle,
Declan asks Anna what she would save if her apartment caught fire, and she is unable to
answer. The train arrives early, and Anna misses it. The two go to a bed and breakfast,
where they are forced to pretend that they are married so that their conservative hosts
will allow them to stay. Asked their married name, they simultaneously answer "Brady"
and "O'Callaghan", quickly amending that to "O'Brady-Callaghan". During dinner, Anna and
Declan are forced to kiss, which causes some confusion for them. That night, they
hesitantly sleep in the same bed. The next day, they take shelter from a hail storm
in a church where a wedding is taking place.
The next day they arrive by bus in Dublin. On the way to the hotel, they stop by a
park and Declan reveals that he was once engaged but that his ex-fiancée ran off with
his best friend and his family ring to Dublin; Anna encourages him to get his ring back.
When Anna reaches Jeremy's hotel, he proposes to her, and she accepts after a hesitation
as Declan walks away. At their engagement party, Anna finds out that Jeremy proposed to her
only in an effort to impress the manager of the expensive condominium the two were attempting
to buy.
Dismayed, Anna pulls the fire alarm and watches as Jeremy grabs all the electronics before
fleeing. Anna goes back to the Dingle Peninsula, where Declan is successfully running his inn.
She proposes that they get together and "not make plans", and Declan leaves the room. Anna
interprets this as a rejection, so she rushes outside and ends up on a cliff overlooking the
sea. Declan follows her and asks, "Mrs. O'Brady-Callaghan, where the hell are you going?"
and proposes to her with the ring he retrieved from his ex-fiancée while in Dublin. Some
time later, the two are shown driving in Declan's car with a "Just married" sign in the
back window.
