About the Movie (studio synopsis)
Amy Adams and Matthew Goode star in Leap Year, a romantic comedy that follows one woman's determined quest to get married to the perfect guy...despite what fate has in store for her.
When their four-year anniversary passes without a marriage proposal, Anna (Amy Adams) decides to take matters into her own hands. Investing in an Irish tradition that allows women to propose to men on February 29th, Anna decides to follow her boyfriend Jeremy (Adam Scott) to Dublin and get down on one knee herself.
But airplanes, weather and fate leave Anna stranded on the other side of Ireland, and she must enlist the help of handsome and surly Declan (Matthew Goode) to get her across the country. As Anna and Declan bicker across the Emerald Isle, they discover that the road to love can take you to very unexpected places.
[Editor's note: We're not exactly sure why even a fictional alter-ego of awesome Amy Adams would have to resort to matrimonial loopholes, trickery, tomfoolery, and shenanigans to get hitched, but we'll bite because she's got a solid and entertaining track record. Another reason to see this movie: it also features Kaitlin Olson, who stars in one of TV's most kickass sitcoms, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.]
If you're wondering what song is playing in the second half of the Leap Year trailer, it's "Just Say Yes" by Irish (appropriately enough) alternative rock band Snow Patrol. Here are the lyrics...
I'm running out of ways to make you see
I want you to stay here beside me
I won't be okay and I won't pretend I am
So just tell me today and take my hand
Please take my hand (x4)
CHORUS
Just say yes
Just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love
It's so simple and you know it is, you know it is
We can't be to and fro like this all our lives
You're the only way to me, the path is clear
What do I have to say to you
For God's sake, dear? (x5)
CHORUS
I can feel your heart beat through my shirt
This was all I wanted, all I want
It's all I want (x4)
CHORUS
Just say yes, 'cause I'm aching and I know you are too
For the touch of your warm skin
As I breathe you in
