Donne-moi ta main

Une autre romance clichée sans la moindre idée, en plus d'une chimie trop légère entre le couple principal. Amy Adams peut être mignonne, mais cela ne suffit pas. De beaux paysages irlandais et une seule scène (le départ du bus) qui m'a ému. (26/03/2010)

Everything seems to be in perfect order. Ireland is the epitome of a dream country, Matthew Goode displays his loner charisma, and Amy Adams is Amy Adams. But the moment the subtitles start, the inevitable truth comes. Leap Year is nothing more than a filled micro-box. Filled to the tee, but with a desperately predictable pattern where everything is clear, including planned plot surprises. Therefore, the final evaluation must be clear in advance. (17/08/2011)

My huge weakness for films from Ireland has deepened again. And it might be the biggest cliché ever, but the trees are falling and the sky is smiling even though it's raining. Love in my eyes like crazy. At least three scenes where my eyes teared up and at least two scenes where I couldn't stop giggling. I know very few romantic movies that have that kind of atmosphere.

I didn't have the slightest problem with this film. Thanks to the likeable couple, the beautiful Irish exteriors and the perfectly chosen music, there was always something to see, and the story, which according to the distributor's text on the DVD cover was something like a bland romance, ended up being unexpectedly funny, sensitive, engaging and even surprisingly evolving a few times (I really wasn't sure how everything would turn out, although I had a hunch). Simply one of the most relaxing films of recent times. (22/01/2013)

Encore un de ces innombrables films américains ordinaires, ici avec deux atouts de taille : Amy Adams et l’Irlande. L'Irlande est un pays pour lequel je me suis pris d’un amour inconditionnel au point d’acheter, à Dublin, une paire de chaussettes ornées d’un trèfle vert et des mots « My feet will always be in Ireland ». Pour moi, plus il y a d’Irlande, mieux c’est ! (28/07/2016)

I can't help it, but this pleasantly flowing romance set in the beautiful surroundings of Ireland was incredibly appealing to me. I'm quite shocked because I don't really seek out Amy Adams movies. I may have to rethink my relationship with her. Another pleasant surprise for me was Matthew Goode, whom I hadn't really noticed until now. Leap Year also features two absolutely splendid romantic scenes, and that silhouette scene by the lake ending with vomiting really amused me a lot. (80%) (16/01/2021)
