• Quotes

  • "The Irish tradition is a cute idea, but it seems a pretty flimsy basis for a movie. Of course, so did Shopgirl, and people liked that one a lot. And (Amy) Adams is a talented performance who can make a concept even as dubious as Enchanted feel winning, so this movie, however cutesy and weird it is, is probably headed for success."—CinemaBlendCinemaBlend: Anand Tucker Takes a Leap (November 24, 2008)

  • "A woman who flies over to Dublin to propose to her boyfriend on leap day. Why? Because an Irish tradition says that when men get proposals on that day, they have to say yes. She gets delayed, and surely doesn't want to wait another four years to make her possible marriage a sure thing, so she's got to race across the country to make it. Good ... or bad? Well, this slightly brings to mind a certain Matchmaker story, which was bad in a sweet sort of way.'"—CinematicalCinematical: Anand Tucker Jumps into Leap Year (November 24, 2008)
