Kate & Leopold description Hokey but heartfelt, Kate & Leopold revitalizes an old idea, and amiable casting makes this romantic fantasy work almost in spite of itself. Knowing that he'd be risking comparison to Time After Time and Somewhere in Time if he delved too deeply into time travel, director James Mangold (Girl, Interrupted) briefly introduces an elusive "time portal," then wisely skirts the issue altogether. Instead, he focuses on kismet, etiquette, and fading traditions of chivalry as bachelor Duke Leopold of Albany (Hugh Jackman) is accidentally swept from 1876 to present-day 2001. Adjusting to the shock of his temporal displacement, he falls in love with Manhattan executive Kate (Meg Ryan), whose ex-boyfriend (Liev Schreiber) is Leopold's great-great-grandson. But Leo can't stay in the future, and this breezy comedy proves yet again that time is no barrier when true love is involved. Hardly original, but Ryan's doing what she does best, making Kate & Leopold a bona-fide crowd pleaser--past, present, and future. --Jeff Shannon |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Kate Ruined This For Me |
| Leopold is a man from the past who follows someone into a time warp and pops out in current day New York. He meets Kate, a modern day career woman, and the two fall in love. Will she follow him back to his own time? Hmm, bet you can't guess.
The storyline was simple and really could have worked if Kate had been more likeable. Hugh Jackman played Leopold well, really making his character come alive, but I just didn't understand why he would fall for such a plain-looking, gruff woman. There wasn't any chemistry between the two and I couldn't pinpoint the moment when the two fell in love (especially on Leopold's side). There were some good secondary characters, but the primary relationship (or lack thereof) made this movie a dud. |
