Just don't expect anything out of the ordinary in terms of storytelling, characters or comedy. It felt like they were trying to plug in all sorts of comedy and adventure cliches while still making sure it was a romance.<br /><br />@GMR - I kind of went back and forth on the chemistry in Leap Year. In the early bits of the movie I wasn't really convinced of Amy Adams as a romantic lead. But as her character (and the male lead, whose name I forget, developed), I looked at them as "realistic" romantic characters rather than the caricatures I'd watched in the other films. I will definitely agree that I never felt like their chemistry was fully swoon-worthy in terms of other romantic comedies...but it felt more "real" in terms of the way relationships often behave...a little awkward but sweet.Okiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393689307300304035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401276.post-90665938784542529202010-08-11T16:01:15.391-06:002010-08-11T16:01:15.391-06:00Too true about seeing the best of movies in the pr...Too true about seeing the best of movies in the previews anymore....sometimes you see almost the whole film! I've actually seen these three movies...the 1st one was okay, not enthralling but good. The second, was fun, but yeah, there wasn't much more than in the previews. The third, I have to disagree. I mean I like the actors/actresses and such in other roles, but the chemistry for this one was awkward...never quite felt right.
