We Hate Hollywood

For those who love film but hate Hollywood

Leap Year

Posted by paul On January - 7 - 2010

Leap YearDirected by Anand Tucker
Written by Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan
Starring Amy Adams, Matthew Goode, Adam Scott, John Lithgow
Release Date - January 08, 2010

Mmmmm….what’s that putrid rotting smell?  We’re entering that magical time of year when the studios drag out the real trash that has been festering in their basements while their prized jewels have been in theaters for the past two months to make the Oscar cut.

When I saw the trailer for this film, I wanted to throw up.  Is there any genre more predictable, idiotic, and completely devoid of original thought as the romantic comedy?  The trailer for a film is crafted to pull audiences in.  I watched this thing dumbfounded.  Not only does it give away the entire plot (she goes overseas to snag her man but falls for a different one.  The End.), but it is unfunny, vapid, obtuse, misguided, and creatively bankrupt.
