Leap Year -- January 2010 (Adams, Goode, Scott)
Yes this appears to be a typical date movie, but it looks more on the original low budget side. Perhaps a good afternoon showing with the significant other.

At first I thought it was the singer, but no E.

No surprises at all. They hate each other, go on a long overly-difficult journey, arguing the whole way, and then realize their feelings with a big romantic gesture at the end. It's cute enough, and Adams and Goode are well cast. And since most of it takes place in Ireland, there's some nice scenery along with pubs, pints, brawls, and corny sayings that seem wiser when told with a brogue.

I found Leap Year to be a bit forced and artificial. I have a thing for Amy Adams, I will admit, but this just wasn't her best performance. I would recommend Sunshine Cleaning over this.
