For yet another movie-in-a-trailer, check out this new one released for Amy Adams’ upcoming romantic comedy Leap Year. The movie follows a woman (Adams) who decides to take matters into her own hands after the four year anniversary with her steady boyfriend (Adam Scott) comes and goes without the marriage proposal she was expecting. Taking advantage of her boyfriend’s upcoming trip to Dublin, she decides to follow him there and make use of an Irish tradition where women are allowed to propose to men on February 29th. Trouble arises, however, when a thunderstorm diverts her plane to Wales and she must rely on a roguish native (Matthew Goode) to help get her across the country in time.

If you want to find out what happens next, and then after that, and even after that, just watch the trailer embedded after the jump.

As if we didn’t already have a pretty clear idea of what’s going to happen from the synopsis, the trailer insists on filling in the few gaps we have. Isn’t trying to figure out what happens next a big incentive for watching movies? Despite the trailer leaving nothing up to the imagination though, there are still a few reasons I want to see this movie. For one, Amy Adams is so good that I’ll pretty much watch her in anything (I’m a fan of Matthew Goode and Adam Scott, too). Anand Tucker directs this one, and he’s done some decent work in the past – Shopgirl and Hilary and Jackie, to name a couple. Aside from Adams however, the bit that seems to hint most at hidden potential is that the screenplay was written by Simon Beaufoy (whose last foray into romance gave us Slumdog Millionaire) with Harry Belfont and Deborah Kaplan (who were responsible for the fairly bland Made of Honor, but also Can’t Hardly Wait, a movie I have a particular soft spot for). So yeah, I’ll probably end up seeing this. Even if I feel like I already have, having seen the trailer below.

Leap Year hits theaters on January 8th, 2010.
