Old funny Irish guys in pubs! Her fancy shoes in the mud! A mysterious back story about the brooding hero! A sketchy time line!
Geez America, why can't I just watch one romcom that doesn't require a series of both unbelievable and ridiculous events that culminate in equally unbelievable and ridiculous endings? I get that people fall in love in 2 days, but it's still very romantic when it takes more time and it's still very sweet even without declarations in front of crowds. And this is even coming from a girl who cries at like Hallmark commercials and old men on the street, so it doesn't take much to get me.
So Leap Year, you fail. But the romcom genre, you win because I will never give up on you as long as Redbox and dollar rentals exist, even though you disappoint me again and again.
[mini rant] Also, why are we okay with movies that get you rooting for the leading lady to cheat on her boring fiance/boyfriend/husband with the handsome leading man often in a drunken hookup, but we get our britches in a bunch about one too many swears in other movies? Let's use our brains more often people...[mini rant]

But it's ok to cheat on people if they are boring.
No, seriously tho, I have wondered what effect does it have on society when, in any movie, the way you know 2 people like each other is cus they have sex within 5 hours of knowing each other. Like, you know it's a good date if they hook up at the end.
Grandma out.
I liked that he thought she named her luggage Louie. Like Louie Vitton. Or some clever joke like that.
