Bad Movie Beatdown: Leap Year (REVIEW)

[@FilmBrain]

No, you're not experiencing deja vu, this was up earlier, but someone pointed out that I'd mixed up Declan's name in a few instances (my fault at the scripting stage, I'd somehow put 'Duncan' at several points) and went back to correct them. Alas that means the comments from the earlier version are now lost, so if you want to repost your comments, you're welcome to do so. Apologies again!

[@Votesaxon07Reviews]

Film Brain Fair enough, but I don't think that warrants a full repost. I make the odd mistake and mix up names from time to time and sure you get nothing but comments from smart arses who point it out but the rest of us get what you mean. Appreciate the effort though.

[@FilmBrain]

It's the sort of thing that really would have bugged me. I was more annoyed I hadn't noticed it myself.

[@Votesaxon07Reviews]

Film Brain I understand that, there are times where I would want to take down a video to fix some errors but the impact on views annoys me more.

[@FilmBrain]

It was only up to 500 before I set it back to private. I corrected it in two hours. If it was after the premiere on Channel Awesome, then it might have been more of a problem.

You gotta love the "NO TRAINS ON SUNDAY" thing I mean WTF lol even the most isolated rural lines have a Sunday timetable.

[@stewieismyhomeboy]

Why yes, that may be true, but we need to make Irish people look like super devout stubborn Catholics who would disown their daughters for sex outside marriage. Even though the President of Ireland is a man who once praised Fidel Castro.

[@nifralo2752]

Very true, Ireland use to be a Catholic Texas but now its as irreligious as Canada England Czechslovakia ect. You dont even have religious provinces in a secular society like you do in Holland and Scandinavia. Chances are if you meet a religious person in Ireland under 60 they are either a Jew Pole or African.

[@MsDjessa]

17:57 Especially in a country where people recently voted in favor of equal marriage rights. Would have been a fun scene to have that lady be visited by a same sex couple and she would have been completely okay just insisting they sleep separately until married. Would have been little different and interesting mix of liberal and conservative values.

[@gamerhero9559]

I don't get why these romcoms has to be repetitive on 90's slap-slap-kiss relationship. A boy and girl first met hate each other for no reason. Years later they suddenly love each other. I thought anime has the worst Tsunderes...

[@T5ComixCartoonz]

Strangely, it might all be a callback to Shakespeare, for I think he might have created the first "romcom" when he wrote the play "Much Ado About Nothing". Not saying most romcoms are on the same level as Shakespeare, but I more than willing to bet that's where that overused "slap-slap-kiss" formula actually comes from.

They are twice as stupid because they could have charged for two rooms. Then again the 'hero' gets lippy with his own customers in the 3rd act so maybe that's how all business is done in this mirror world. I don't know what is worse the writer's grasp of the Isles or their grasp of business.

[@polk-e-dot8177]

if we were to go buy romance movie logic: any one youve been dating for an extended period is actually a bad person, you should definitely break up with whoever your with to marry someone youve met within the last month OR someone you grew up knowing but lost touch with. and youre a bad person.

[@carlrood4457]

...and definitely give up the successful high paying career you've worked so hard to establish for a subsistence living in the middle of nowhere. It's actually on of the weird things about Hollywood. In real life, they'll pretty much insult anyone who doesn't live in or near a major urban area, but in movies say that everyone should move out of cities into the country. Of course they still insult the natives in the movies too, so maybe not so weird.

[@lotus-prince]

7:00 "We're buying this apartment, and it's perfect - I know how I'm going to change it." So it's not perfect, then. :-P

[@happyhellday3]

Every time Film Brain uploads, my day get x1000 times better. Especially when it's a BMB.

[@SergioMach7]

Definitely a film not forgotten here in Ireland, with so many geographical errors and backward twee presentation. So glad you displayed all the location errors on a map, especially since you would think that location filming would have given the filmmakers a bit of sense, the Irish would (and indeed do) hate this choice to have random shots with no connection. I am pretty sure one of our Irish Times reviewers did claim it to be a cultural insult at the time funny enough.

[@markiangooley]

Someone on IMDB claims that this is a remake of the 1945 film I Know Where I'm Going. Too many differences: the woman's already engaged to be married to her rather-older boss on a Scots island, and gets stuck on another island by weather and meets an impoverished laird. Also it's by all accounts a fine film...

[@WinterSteele]

This movie doesn't even know how cows work. I went to a farm this past December that contained several fields/pens of cows, and I had hoped to get close enough to pet them. Nope. Unless they are already familiar with you, a cow won't let you get close enough to pet them. In fact, they will actively back away on sight. So there shouldn't have been an issue with the main character needing so shoo away cows in the road-- they would've taken off on their own the minute they saw her coming toward them.

[@MediumRareOpinions]

While generally timid you do get some that just ignore your presence even getting close up. There's a group of cows used for land management on a route I take for work, they were all stood on the road one time and I had to get right up close to them before they decided moving aside would be a good idea. Though these were a totally different breed of cow that are allowed to freely roam within a fenced area of woodland where people often walk dogs, rather than dairy farm cows, maybe they behave differently?

[@lilithiaabendstern6303]

And ride that storm as far as Dingle, on the extreme west coast, than Cork which a) they pass on the way to Dingle, b) is a sheltered harbour and c) is where they're being paid to go.

[@MadHatter42]

The reason their short trip across Ireland took several days is because since our country is so damn big, when Americans think about cross-country road trips, we time our journeys in terms of days, not hours. We tend to forget that most European countries are the size of American states, and the writers didn't factor the scale difference into account.

[@owlsilverfeather]

Here's another reason you're not being pedantic: If a film is set in the U.S., and is said to be taking place in New York City, only us annoying New Yorkers will get annoyed when you suddenly travel from the Village (singles and teen streets) to Harlem (100's to 130 or so) in 10 minutes. So if they town-hopped nearby villages in Ireland and there was rage, that might be overdoing it. However, if you clearly state your film is in NYC and the character travels 100km (approx. 62 miles), you could suddenly be in Princeton NJ. Geography matters!

Nice review, Matthew. Somehow the plot also reminds me of the great movie "It Happened One Night", where also two people who don't like each other pretend to be a married couple. I have been in Ireland a few years ago, also in some of the real places, incorrectly portrayed in the movie. It's a wonderful country. So why do they need to add some cheap and stupid stereotypical clichees into this unfunny and prodictable movie? And why do so many movies have such stupid and too-simple-minded love connections? I don't get it. I remember seing a German musical movie from 2013 where a woman marries a guy she barely knew after 2 days from a place called "Salzkammergut" in Austria. But it was based on a classic play from the 1900s where there were only references to marriage and it was playing on the positive way of creating a world where everything like that is possible and different than in the real world, in that case Berlin, Germany. And the movie adaptation looked like a parody on cheesy "Schlager"-movies. This supposed to be a fantasy world. But here??? No.
