romcom with accents

i got leap year because i really have to watch every romantic comedy with a hot guy. i know it's silly, but i just can't help myself.

so, it was ok. the plot is pretty basic. a overachieving, hyper organized nyc woman goes to ireland to propose to her heart surgeon boyfriend because that's how her grandmother did it. her flight to dublin is canceled and she has a two day adventure with a cranky irishman who she falls in love with and almost kisses a couple times and really does kiss once, but it's because of having to lie about being married, not because they can admit they're in love. when she gets to dublin, her boyfriend proposes and the irishman leaves. she goes back to nyc and learns that he proposed mostly because they wanted to get into this great co-op and the board pressured him to be married. so, she goes back to ireland and the irishman asks her to marry him in a really charming way.

ok, there's the whole movie, so i saved you, although you knew the plot before it even started, i'm sure. the movie was ok because irland's really pretty, the actors are cute as hell, and it's always nice to have the lesson that you have to relax and let life happen to you. oh, and the girl wasn't that annoying and she was a control freak because her father was a fuck up and she had to support them. and the irishman understood that and loved her for it, which is sweet!
