In which country is the romantic comedy film "Leap Year" set?

Apparently this is an Irish tradition, going back centuries. It sounded familiar because of the American comic strip, "Lil Abner," where on "Sadie Hawkins Day," in November, single women could get a husband this way. Some American schools developed a Sadie Hawkins inspired tradition, where females could invite males to a dance or the prom. I don't know how common it is today.

arohanui, Never heard about that! People have a habit of truncating common sayings/proverbs which are then passed on in an incomplete form. Thanks for the education.
