'Leap Year' trailer shows entire movie

Amy Adams in Leap Year

I'm a huge fan of trailers, but it is quite alarming how many previews these days show us an entire film. Case in point: the new trailer for Anand Tucker's upcoming romantic comedy "Leap Year."

Indeed, this one already reveals all there is to reveal (unless the movie boasts a major twist we don't see here, which i doubt), and on top of that, it doesn't even look that exciting or funny.

In "Leap Year," Amy Adams stars as a young woman who travels to Dublin to propose to her boyfriend (Adam Scott) on leap day, Feb. 29. Tradition says men have to say yes on that day.

But when bad weather threatens to ruin her plan, she embarks on a turbulent trip with an Irish innkeeper to pull off her proposal before it’s too late. The problem: she starts to fall for the guy...

Nope, no spoiler alert needed here, because the trailer shows you even more than I just told you. Interestingly enough, "Slumdog Millionaire" writer Simon Beaufoy penned the script.

"Leap Year" arrives in theaters Jan. 8, 2010. I adore Amy Adams as an actress, but she looks awfully misplaced in this trailer. Let's hope the film itself isn't as bad.
