Reviews of film critics

Experts point out Amy and Matthew's excellent acting, as well as a large number of picturesque landscapes of Ireland among the advantages of this film. “Watching romantic comedies is always a lottery: either it hooks right away, or I turn it off after half an hour of viewing. The comedy "How to Get Married in 3 Days" immediately caught my attention even in the trailer with its pleasant actors and magnificent landscapes of Ireland "- notes one of the critics in his review. “The main character Anna is active, resourceful and independent, but at the same time very sweet and charming. “It's hard not to fall in love with her,” experts say. And all thanks to the talented performance of this role by actress Amy Adams.
The film itself is filled with unobtrusive and rough humor, in which there is a sweet self-irony of the Irish. Traveling from a small village to Dublin, the heroes find themselves in various awkward and funny situations that gradually bring the heroes closer together, allow them to open up more and learn about each other. Among the shortcomings of this film, many film experts noted the banality and predictability of the plot. Often, experts also noted the unsatisfactory quality of the translation of the film into Russian. The original title of the film "Leap Year" in translation into Russian means "Leap year". And that is what formed the basis of the film.
"How to Get Married in 3 Days" is an interesting romantic comedy aimed mainly at a female audience. It is worth seeing because of the incredible Irish landscapes and the great performance of the main characters.
