Today Mike and Christi cover Leap Year (2010). Amy Adams plays Anna Brady, who plans to travel to Dublin, Ireland, so she can propose to her boyfriend on a leap day. But what happens when she meets Declan along the way? We discuss if this film is considered a musical or not. Christi expresses her appreciation of the Guerrilla style filmmaking as seen in this film. We have a friendly debate over a mother’s intentions in dipping into her daughter’s piggy bank. Weigh in and tell us what you think.
