Over-organised Anna (Amy Adams) rushes from Boston to Ireland to propose to her cardiologist beau (Adam Scott) on 29 February, only to be confounded by the one thing she can't control - the weather. Miles off course, in the wilds of Dingle, she enlists the help of handsome minicab driver-cum-publican Declan (Matthew Goode), and the bickering pair set off to reunite her with her intended. Director Anand Tucker (Shopgirl) has produced a light, frothy romance with just enough blarney to charm the susceptible. Adams is enchanting, even when teetering on ridiculously high heels, and Goode manages to hang on to an often strained Irish accent, flashing his puppy-dog eyes along the way.

When yet another anniversary passes without a marriage proposal from her boyfriend, Anna decides to take action. Aware of a Celtic tradition that allows women to pop the question on Feb. 29, she plans to follow her lover to Dublin and ask him to marry her. Fate has other plans, however, and Anna winds up on the other side of the Emerald Isle with handsome, but surly, Declan -- an Irishman who may just lead Anna down the road to true love.
