Like A Boss

All kinds of relationships should have to be mutually beneficial for all parties involved. Take mutualism for example, wherein interaction between two organisms of different species benefit from each other's activities. However, in real life, there is almost always someone who unconsciously (and even consciously) gives more. Is it not sad? So on an unrelated matter, here's a review about a movie that made me sad, but more hateful.

Directed by Anand Tucker
Written by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont

Anna (Amy Adams) decides to go to Dublin from Boston to propose to her 4-year boyfriend on a leap year. Unfortunately, she ends up in another town, Dublin, instead. Owner of a struggling pub in town, Declan (Matthew Goode) offers to drive Anna to Dublin in exchange of money to save his business.



Despite the leading actors (Amy Adams, Matthew Goode) being my favorites, their beauty, charm, and talent were not enough to save the horrible narrative. Even the cliché moments failed to salvage it. Though the very idea about leap year was interesting, that's all there is to this predictable, cringe-worthy movie. I think I have set my expectations too high for this one. Nonetheless, Ireland was beautiful.

First on the list of movies I hate that stars my beloved Matthew Goode. What a shame.
