enjoyable fluff with extraordinary character

This movie wouldn't really be anything to write home about. You could call it science fiction because it's about time travel, but any serious science fiction buff would know better. But, there's something absolutely extraordinary about this movie that has... Full review

I'm a fan of Meg Ryan and think that she's one of the best there is in Hollywood right now. Yet, I believe that it was HUGH JACKMAN who stole the show in this movie. He is so charming and... Full review

Kate & Leopold is more or less a romantic comedy that has been done so many times before. Woman and man see each other and don't like each other. Than they fall in love, but destiny comes in between them.... Full review

Kate and Leopold was not a perfect movie, but I enjoyed the fantasy. With all the stress and bad news in the real world today, I like to take an escapist trip with a movie now and then. Hugh Jackman... Full review

Dear folks who hated this movie,If you didn't like Bewitched, or Dark Shadows, or oldie's but goodies, like Here Comes Mr. Jordon, or I Married a Witch, you aren't going to like Kate and Leopold. It's a fantasy which makes... Full review

If you can accept the totally ridiculous premise of KATE AND LEOPOLD and enjoy romantic fantasies of this sort, you'll find yourself drawn into the plot because of the very charismatic HUGH JACKMAN. He is the main reason for watching... Full review

Honestly, my wife rented this and I wasn't planning on watching - but the luscious cinematography and some interesting writing drew me in. Hugh Jackman sealed the deal with his totally straight portrayal - this guy's earning power can only... Full review

It has its moments and is worth seeing for Jackmans performance but its very frustrating, given that it could so easily have been a much better film.
The frustrating thing is that the film could really have used another rewrite or two, because everything the film-makers need is right there in front of them, but they don't use it.

With this in mind, the movie works surprisingly well.
We have to wait impatiently through Leopold's inevitable fumbling with the TV and stereo remotes, with modern aerosol shaving-cream cans, and with NYC's pooper-scooper laws before anything of any consequence occurs.

Kate & Leopold looks crummy on the small screen though that has less to do with the transfer to DVD than with the film's listless daytime color palette.
Welcome to New York, Leopold; fret not, though, the next block is gentrified for you and your pooping dog's pleasure!

A drearily languid film all the more tiresome....The ending, which is meant to warm hearts, feels contrived and wholly unbelievable.....The centerpiece of "Kate and Leopold"--the burgeoning love story between the two star-crossed title characters--is stagnant and unconvincing..... ... Full Review
