Directed by Anand Tucker from a Screenplay by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont, Leap Year made good use of the gorgeous scenery of Ireland so I'll give a special nod to the Cinematographer Newton Thomas Sige. Locations used included Glendalough, Enniskerry, and Connemara.
With a cast headlined by Amy Adams (Anna), Matthew Goode (Declan), and Adam Scott (Jeremy), the characters were brought to life in a way one can't imagine anyone else in those parts. You'll also see some fan favorites like John Lithgow and Bill Nighy.
