I went to go see this movie with my Marafiki today after school. And i have to say, this movie gets TEN stars from me. I'm a huge shabiki of Amy Adams and her movies, but putting that aside, this movie was absolutely incredible. I laughed from beginning to end, I cried, I sympathized with characters, and i got SO into it, that i actually yelled at the screen (which i usually do at home, but never at that sinema theater). I'm a hopeless romantic, so i was on the endge of my kiti, kiti cha often. Especially at the end.
Amy Adams (as Anna) was fantastic! Her character had so much bad luck in the movie, but wewe didn't really feel bad for her, but wewe pitied her a lot. Her bad luck was actually very comedic. Amy played Anna perfectly; kind of snooty, work-driven, gullible, and anal-neurotic. But knows how to loosen up. There was one scene when she was imba and dancing in the kuoga that made me crack up!
Matthew Goode almost made me pee my pants laughing! His character Declan was a spit fire! he was absolutely hilarious! He was such a jerk with his sarcastic comments, and just the way he acted towards Anna when they first met, but he makes wewe laugh so hard that wewe upendo his attitude. And he got to be a total sweetie near the middle/end. There was one scene at night, when Anna made him sleep in the shower, because they didn't want to share the one kitanda in the place they were staying, and he opened the kuoga curtain, decked in pajamas, and clutching a pillow, and he alisema to her "Have a little mercy for me" (or something similar to that), and clasped his hands together, pouted, and them made a really cute smile like a little kid would make. It was so cute i fell in upendo with him right then.
So many scenes were SO romantic, without being uncomfortably awkward, but cute enough to make wewe "awww" at almost everything they say. In one scene, Anna was getting drunk on the beach, and she and Declan were talking, and she got so close to his face calling him a mean beast (keep in mind she was drunk lol), he carried her princess style back to the inn. I left the theater praying that i could find a guy like him (There's a good chance i never will. I may just have to go to Ireland to find one).
Overall, Leap mwaka is a definite must see, 5 stars, 2 thumbs up. wewe will upendo this movie! I guarantee it!

Ok I saw this a while back on the internet and I hated it . Here is why I didn’t like it.
For starters Amy Adams wasn’t great in this film. She was always bitchy and always moaning about something. Matthew Goode’s fake Irish accent its worse than Ralph Fiennes’s American accent in Maid in Manhattan. The story was alright but the chemistry between her and him was awful. They had zero chemistry. She had better chemistry with Patrick Dempsey in Enchanted which made her famous btw and it was just plain awful.
The ending was awful too. The only thing I found funny was the part where she leaves the breaks on the car and your man Declan calls her a stupid cow. LOL.
Verdict: Why Amy Adams why nyota in a boring rom com set in Ireland just because your half irish .
0 stars.
