Consensus: Amy Adams is as appealing as ever, but her charms aren't enough to keep Leap Year from succumbing to an overabundance of clichés and an unfunny script.

Reviews for Leap Year
We need more rom-coms for Moms and their daughters but despite Adams' charms this film has zero sizzle.
02/01/10
Leap Year is not constructed from the finest materials, but its two appealing lead actors make the most with what they're given to provide a sweet, breezy escape.
01/31/10
A generally witless and uninspired rom-com that follows the genre's forumla to a tee without adding anything entertaining or funny to the mix
01/19/10
It's a shame to see the talented actress Amy Adams floundering around in such a lame and unfunny romantic comedy.
01/15/10
The real star of this movie isn't even in the credits. Or in the title, for that matter.
01/14/10
Leap Year takes few chances.
01/14/10
In Hollywood, it’s all about the concept, and some studio executive must have thought it would be fun to watch Adams slogging around in the Irish mud. Unfortunately, there’s no accounting for taste.
01/14/10
Forgettable all around.
01/14/10
As a tearful Anna perched on a cliff near the end, I was tempted to shout, "Jump! Jump!", while wishing that Kaplan and Elfont would join her.
01/13/10
Has a script that normally comes festooned with the names of a half-dozen or more writers instead of two; it's the kind of bad that usually requires a committee to attain.
01/13/10
Two charismatic actors, Adams and Goode, lift this movie up to heights of entertainment it shouldn't achieve,
01/13/10
Will they fall in love? Will we ever care?
01/13/10
I could watch Amy Adams read the dictionary. "Leap Year" is sentimental, to be sure, but never sappy.
01/12/10
I'll grant that's it's not the most original plotline, but what really counts in these films is the chemistry. And "Leap Year" has plenty of that.
01/12/10
An old man screams at Anna and Declan to kiss over and over again. It feels like something that should be against the law instead of endearing.
01/12/10
Despite its patronizing theme, and however much you're tired of Amy Adams's wide-eyed, neurotic shtick, Leap Year has a winning charm that sneaks up on you and makes you fall in love with Matthew Goode %u2013 I mean, with it.
01/12/10
You've seen this movie before dozens of times under dozens of different titles. What's the point in seeing it again under this title?
01/11/10
The incredible Amy Adams might not turn this sow's ear material into a silk purse, but she gives a spellbinding performance.
01/10/10
Both of the leads do well in their roles, but since the movie is so predictable and some of the attempts at humor go south, most of it just leave you smacking your palm against your forehead.
