Leap Year Will Improve Your Outlook On Life

By Sadie Faulkner

Romantic comedies are typically seen as the types of films that only woman are allowed to enjoy. However, all woman still attempt to push them onto the men in their lives in order to get them to understand more about woman and love. Fortunately the movie, Leap Year, is a movie that both men and woman will equally appreciate.

Commitment is a consistent issue among couples who have been together for a sufficient amount of time. This movie starts off with this particular issue at hand. The woman in the relationship is left utterly disappointed with her boyfriends lack of proposal when it mattered most. It appears that their relationship lacks a certain spark that is able to keep it fresh and alive.

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.

While in Ireland she encounters nothing but obstacle after obstacle. However, she is lucky enough to stumble into a young man who helps her along the way. She does not realize it at the time that this man is actually trying to help her. The young woman attempts to push him away and hold her head high. Yet as the movie progresses he slowly starts to get to her.

This is simply the result of spending a significant amount of time with another kind person when you have truly hit a low point and feel completely helpless. However, he was not there to push her back down while she was out but simply to hold her hand and help her along the way. This is an extremely kind gesture when this woman is on this long journey for another man.

He turns out to be a very good man to her and they have both appeared to have gained a quality friendship along their journey together. One thing that you will most definitely take away from this film is to reevaluate the priorities in your life. It is easy to become consumed with the material items in our lives and to forget the things that matter most. Having someone to love and being loved in return is all that really matters in the end. Anything else that we are fortunate enough to obtain is simply extra.

In the end you will find it difficult to keep your eyes off of this film. More people will recommend this movie than not to all of their friends and family. If you enjoy a romantic film that both you and your partner will enjoy this is truly the right selection.

If you were to simply pick this movie up off of the shelf you would never realize the amazing qualities that it possesses inside. This movie will force you to realize it is the little things in life that will make us happy. Money does not buy happiness despite our long endeavors to obtain as much of it as we possibly can. The entire cast and the musical selections create a quality combination that leave a touching impression.
