Sad and depressed, Anna surfs the Web one night and comes up with the perfect solution. She will fly over to Dublin and surprise Jeremy on Feb. 29th, a date that happens every four years that many Europeans treat as a day in which it's socially acceptable for the woman to ask the man for his hand in marriage.
One problem: a fierce storm has forced Anna's plane to land on the other side of the country. She hooks up with Declan (MATTHEW GOODE), a hunky tavern owner who needs cash quick to keep the lenders at bay. He consequently decides to drive her to Dublin himself for a fee. Amid much bickering, the two fall in love.
What follows is a road comedy in which this mismatched, oil-and-water pair become kindred spirits. At the end of the road, though, is Jeremy and Anna's feelings for him.
Violence consists of a bar fight in which multiple punches are thrown, leaving two men knocked unconscious. Later, a bride is inadvertently hit with a flying, high-heel shoe that leaves a fairly graphic forehead wound. Some lightly played peril is also present.
Bad attitudes are present, as is some potentially imitative behavior and various thematic elements. Drinking is on display throughout, including drunkenness.
