enjoyable fluff with extraordinary character
Mar 09, 2006

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
Fine movie...could have been better though

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
Enjoyable fantasy

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
Good enough.

Leopold (Hugh Jackman) is a nineteenth century nobleman and inventor who ends up in the twenty-first century, courting the very modernized Kate (Meg Ryan), thanks to the interference of Kate's flaky ex-boyfriend Stuart (Liev Schreiber).The kind of film I could... Full review
Cinematography and writing drew me in

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

For those whose comments show a serious lack of humour, get a life! Why find picky details to criticise when this movie is here to enjoy! Those not hung up with identifying finer points of historical inaccuracy, go ahead and... Full review

Liev Schreiber (badly used and miscast) travels from NYC 2002 to NYC 1862 (the how and why are never really explained). While coming back he accidentally brings a 19th century duke Leopold (Hugh Jackman) with him. Leopold meets Kate (Meg... 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. ... Full Review

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. ... Full Review

Slant Magazine
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! ... Full Review

Laramie Movie Scope:Kate and Leopold An unbelievable, but enjoyable romantic comedy You jump off the bridge in 2002, you go back in time 100 years, but you don't land in the river. ... Full Review

The Movie Boy
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
