Description

Amy Adams tried her hand at being a romcom leading lady in 2010's Leap Year, where she plays Anna, a real estate stager capitalizing on an obscure Irish tradition to propose to her boyfriend. We're joined by AV Club contributor and New Flesh co-host Jesse Hassenger to talk about Amy being directed into her least charming performance, and whether or not Leap Year makes The Wedding Date look better in comparison. Plus: the difference between banter and open hostility, Matthew Goode's overly honest press tour, and firing shots at Hilary Swank.
