I really like this (timely) film, with Amy Adams and Matthew Goode and Adam Scott. The first time I saw it I thought I didn't so much -I thought a lot of it was stupid and I had trouble understanding Englishman Matthew Goodie who was speaking like and Irishman which he was playing. I think he may have needed a few more lessons with the language coach (I read he had one) to make his Irish accent understandable. However, it was on cable and I ended up watching i several more times and once I wasn't straining to understand the dialogue, I really liked it. It's quite romantic and I really like the ultimate message of the film which deals with materialism vs. what is really important.
I own this film and plan to watch it again - you guessed it - on Feb. 29th. If it's playing again on HBO - which it usually does at this time of year - I'll tune in then also.

I liked that movie, too, Pearley. The scenery was beautiful. I thought it deserved better reviews.

@LyndaGee Oh yes yes yss! The scenery is gorgeous and it made me want to go to Dublin! How could I have forgotten to mention that?
I have even heard Goode trash the movie. He said it was awful and he did it to get a free trip to Ireland so he could visit with family in England.
I love the scene where they are eating dinner with the bed-and-breakfast couple and the couple from Italy and Goode is forced into kissing Adams, later followed by the scene with "Dream A Little Dream Of Me." Oh, I loved the music too throughout, including the scene with Only Love Can Break A Heart where Goode thinks she got on the bus. Oooh - I want to see this again!

I want to see it again, too ! Matthew sure is handsome . Didn't know he felt that way about the movie (sigh).

Bummer - I looked at TV Guilde online and there are "no airings within the next 14 days" of Leap Year! That's a bummer considering a real Leap Year occurs next week!
I also looked on HBO to confirm. Boy, someone sure dropped the ball when they decided not to air this film this month!
