Romantic comedy

First published on 25 Feb 2010. Updated on 2 Mar 2010.

Irish legend – read: lazy high-concept screenwriting – tells us that women can pop the question to their beaux on the Emerald Isle, but only on 29 February. Needing a lift to Dublin after several mishaps, a perpetually annoyed wannabe bride (Adams) can’t stand – but must depend upon – a roguish Irish bartender (Goode) who loathes her American entitlement. Will they fall in love? Will we ever care? Aaron Hillis
