By Sadie Faulkner

Do you love romance movies? Do you ever feel like they are always so predictable but go see them anyway? Now you will be left on the edge of your seat as well as enjoy a gushy romance comedy all at the same time. Leap Year is by far a must-see film this year.

The opens with a young woman and the story of her current love life. However, she is sadly disappointed with its current status. It seems that her boyfriend appears a gentleman but is lacking that something special. He also has a hidden fear of commitment that is beginning to truly upset and hurt his long-time girlfriend. Without the something special no relationship will last forever.

However, this young lady refuses to believe that this fact is true even though in her heart she knows it is. Therefore, she proceeds to Ireland to propose to him on a leap year. Ireland has a so-called famous tradition that a woman can propose to her boyfriend on leap year. So off to Ireland that young lady goes.

So, off she goes in an attempt to solve all of her problems. However, what she does not realize just yet is that all of her problems are just about to begin. Once she finally arrives in Ireland she is consistently faced with problem after problem. Luckily the young lady meets a nice young man who is able and willing to take her on the long journey ahead.

This man is eventually able to wear down the young woman and get inside her head. He is able to get her thinking about what truly matters most in life and relationships. She is a hard-headed woman who is extremely independent due to her long history of misfortunes. However, despite all of this he is able to manage to get some goodness and sensible words into her.

The young man turns out to be a good man who helped her through all of her struggles along the way. Without his help she never would have completed her long and treacherous journey. Throughout the time they spent together during their journey the young man is able to impart some wisdom upon this young woman. He is able to show her the true meaning of life. This is the message that the audience should take away from the film.

Many of us forget the things in life that matter most. It is easy to become consumed in our daily lives and overwhelmed with materialistic items. However, these are not the things that will hold us tight at night. No one ever wants to feel completely alone and this is where material items become meaningless.

Nothing we own matters if we have no one to share it with. This is sole purpose for the saying that money can not buy you happiness. This movie will force you to realize this idea and to put a new perspective on your own life. You will get to thinking about what you value most and how you should value certain other things more. Overall, you will be happy and appreciative that you have selected to view this particular film. - 40723
