Luck of the Oirish

Every time there is a leap year, on February the 29th women are allowed to propose to their men. Or so goes the case back about a gazillion years ago.
But apparently in this day and age Hollywood is talking this age old tradition and marketing it into a chick flick starring the wonderful Amy Adams.

The premise goes that a woman (Adams) whose boyfriend is in Ireland, finds out about the ‘Leap Year’ tradition in Ireland (technically…no…but a good try there Hollywood. Make the Europeans look all backwards) and swiftly leaves to go and ask her beloved to marry her.
Of course there are a few set back like weather and transport. So she is forced to travel cross country with a surly Irish innkeeper (on a horse and cart no doubt) in order to get to her man on time.

Ok ok ok…..I am feeling so Psychic about this boys and girls. I predict that the innkeeper, although rough and horrible at first, will turn out to be some sexy Aragorn type. I also see there being a romance blossoming between Adams and her Irish innkeeper rogue.
Further more the boyfriend will not be a very nice person.

Being as this is being made by the people that bought you “Made of Honor” you can expect some truly embarrassing clichés. Everyone will drink Guinness, eat lucky charms, wear green top hats with shamrocks on them and river dance. Yipeee!
