I should have known better, but the fact I do my best to avoid trailers meant I had no idea what I was in for with the god-awful travesty that is Leap Year. All I knew going in was it starred Amy Adams and Matthew Goode, two actors I like and would expect to choose good projects. Or at least decent  projects. No such luck.

Adams, in my opinion, was a misfire in Julie and Julia earlier this year, but she was great in Sunshine Cleaning and has knocked it out of the park several times prior. Goode was worthless in 2009's Watchmen, but was highly impressive in the late season Oscar entry A Single Man. As for director Anand Tucker, I missed And When Did You Last See Your Father? two years ago, but I was able to at least respect his 2005 effort Shopgirl. So what went wrong? How did this trio go from making quality cinema to Adams stepping in cow manure on an Irish country road all while playing one of the most unlikable and asinine lead characters I can remember in romantic-comedy history?
