i thought i'd add another great review among the many that are here on IMDb. first off the acting was very superb by Vincent D'Onofrio and Marisa Tomei. after about twenty minutes of seeing them acting together just sucked me in completely on this quirky but, fun romantic comedy/science fiction (romcom/scifi) film. their acting styles complimented each other so well and the chemistry was just mixed well in the film worlds laboratory (whether it was due to well editing or the actor/actress themselves). second this movie just kept me on a roller-coaster of a ride once i thought i had it figured out i was completely thrown for a loop back into the wacky roller-coaster design like that of the space traveling story that Sam gives and Ruby is just in the front seat of it all, as are we, the audience. i chose this movie based on it being a recommendation through amazon and thought "what they hey! i'll get it." so i ordered it and have not been disappointed by my decision of getting it. this movie is a must have for any movie goers collection and to see with friends, family, or that special someone. trust me you won't regret it.

i remember when i was a kid watching Riverdance on VHS and becoming more deeply in love with my Irish heritage that my parents got tickets to see Lord of the Dance live! Unfortunately, Michael Flately wasn't performing it was somebody else. Getting over the disappointment I still was amazed at how well it was choreographed. My parents decided to buy the VHS so i could see Michael in action as well as the CD for musical score. I became obsessed with it. So obsessed I saw it a second time live (when i was about in middle school no Michael though) when it came to my area and was still entranced with the whole performance. i for one love the musical arrangement of the pieces and the colors. though, at times the editing of the segments was slightly choppy its still forgivable due to the wonderful talent displayed. today for the first time in a long time after finding the VHS i watched it and was still entranced by this lovely, amazing performance that i wouldn't mind seeing it live even if Michael is not the staring lead tap. the costumes are even fantastic very untraditional which, is OK. i will constantly watch this over and over and over and over again as well as listen to the soundtrack over and over again. 10 all the way!

the reason for 10 out of 10 one: i love irish men, two: irish love stories, and three: have irish blood flowing through me due to heritage. amy adams is a very good actress...she is cute, charming, and has this sense of innocence about her which works in this industry. matthew goode, to me, exudes sexiness and quirkiness which is something that i like. i loved the story line even if it may have been formulatic it gave me a chance to break away from the harsh bitter cold that i was desperately trying to forget so this was the best movie to take my mind off things movie. there were some really good twists but yet predictable which i did not mind. the settings were absolute gorgeous and showed what rural ireland looks like or what has lead me to believe rural irish is supposed to be like. what i got out of this is to keep an open heart and open mind about love because love is out there (which may seem cheesy but, i still look for that love out there). i would definitely see it again on a rainy, cold, or any other day to take my mind off of reality, which thats what movies are meant to do...movies are not meant to be about digesting its meant to be ingesting and thats what this movie did, Leap Year gave me the best ingesting like a secret indulgence (chocolate, cake, brownie, cookie, etc) away from the craziness life has thrown at us. if you need that break from reality go watch this.....i loved it. 10 out of 10.
