leap year

No surprise here: Avatar topped the box office for its fourth straight week in a row, a feat that hasn't happened since 2008's The Dark Knight. The film took in $48.5 million for the No. 1 spot, but also saw its biggest sales dip yet with a 29 percent decrease from last week's numbers.

Sherlock Holmes came in second yet again with $16.6 million, followed by Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel with $16.3 million.

The majority of you said you were interested in seeing the vampire flick Daybreakers, and it proved to be the most promising of the weekend's debuts with $15 million for fourth place. It's Complicated came in fifth with $11 million.

Other newcomers Leap Year and Youth in Revolt didn't fare as well. The Amy Adams vehicle took in $9 million for a No. 6 spot, while the latter made $7 million for a disappointing No. 9 finish.

In this scene from Leap Year, Anna drags her fancy Louis Vuitton luggage down a damp Irish country road, determined to find and propose to her boyfriend. She blends in well with her new surroundings in a floral top, cropped cardigan, and pencil skirt. Achieve a similar smart look by shopping like items now!

I dreaded seeing Leap Year after I watched the trailer — the premise looked unimaginative and sexist. Anna (Amy Adams) is ready to get married, so she seizes on a tradition her father tells her about: in Ireland, women "can" propose to men on the day Leap Year falls on, Feb. 29. Her journey to Dublin to chase down her boyfriend ends up as a series of pratfalls with handsome, devil-may-care stranger Declan (a gorgeously unkempt Matthew Goode).

Let's just say I wasn't psyched about another rom-com fueled by the idea that all women need marriage to feel complete. And it was poor, Oscar-nominated Amy Adams being sacrificed, klutzing her way through desperation to win her man. But a funny thing happened at the theater: Leap Year surprised me. The premise becomes a mere platform for Anna and Declan's sweet, simmering courtship, and I found something that eludes most romantic comedies: romance.

I didn't immediately take to the movie though; it had to win me over. To see what I mean, just read more

Amy Adams takes a break from Oscar-nominated roles this weekend to star as the female lead in the romantic comedy Leap Year, about a woman who decides to propose to her boyfriend on Leap Day, citing Irish tradition (watch the trailer here). I had a chance to chat with the actress about the movie, her character, and the odd conventions of marriage proposals.

• On why she chose this project: I've been looking for a romantic comedy because they're films I always go see, so I wanted to do one. When I read this I just loved the characters, and I loved the idea of playing this character who so thinks they know what they want out of life, and then this roguish man comes along and shows them a new path.
• On her character: Anna's a girl — a woman, excuse me — who sort of has her whole life planned out, and really thinks that she knows best and knows everything, and she is a take control kind of person. it's not until she loses control and surrenders to this place and this person that she's really able to get a better understanding of who she is and what she wants.
