This weekend Amy Adams will headline Anand Tucker’s latest film Leap Year, a romantic comedy that vaguely resembles her previous work Enchanted. This film doesn’t involve wicked queens, or fabled princes, but centers on a hopeless romantic who tries her best to fit love into her busy schedule. Adams stars as Anna, a real estate professional who’s ready to take the next step with her long term boyfriend. Being the independent, proactive woman that she is, her character takes it upon herself to try and initiate a proposal by flying to Ireland during an unofficial holiday, called Leap Day.

This week in movies is a little bit on the weak side. The vampire flick starring Ethan Hawke, Daybreakers, hits theaters. The movie is about a society of vampires that farm humans for their blood, except something goes terribly wrong. The movie hasn’t gotten great reviews, but it might fit under the category of “watchable.” The loveably-awkward Michael Cera’s new movie, Youth in Revolt, about a nerdy guy who is trying to get the hot girl to like him. It should be wildly cliched, completely-predictable, and enjoyable. Then we have the romantic comedy, starring Amy Adams, Leap Year. Tim Allen and Mathew Broderick both have limited release movies coming out this week with Crazy on the Outside and Wonderful World, respectively.
