    Cutesy story for those who have paid their dues. The time travel aspect has so many possibilities, but this is only about Kate & Leopold.

    I thought this movie was really cute. How fun to be able to go back to the 19th century!

    Hugh Jackman = Cutesy. Meg Ryan = Botox-y.

    OMFG! That Sting's song is simply magnificent, glorious and flawless... and the movie is algo great. I don't care about the creepy theories on how somebody ends up screwing his grandma or something like that, Meg Ryan is acceptable, Hugh Jackman is amazing and Liev Shreiber is gr...( read more)eat.

    ''It is no more crazy than a dog finding a rainbow. Dogs are colourblind, Gretchen. They don't see colour. Just like we don't see time. We can feel it, we can feel it passing, but we can't see it. It's just like a blur. It's like we're riding in a supersonic train and the wor...( read more)ld is just blowing by, but imagine if we could stop that train, eh, Gretchen? Imagine if we could stop that train, get out, look around, and see time for what it really is? A universe, a world, a thing as unimaginable as colour to a dog, and as real, as tangible as that chair you're sitting in. Now if we could see it like that, really look at it, then maybe we could see the flaws as well as the form. And that's it; it's that simple. That's all I discovered. I'm just a... a guy who saw a crack in a chair that no one else could see. I'm that dog who saw a rainbow, only none of the other dogs believed me. ''

    Leopold is a Duke in 1876 who is mistakenly transported with a man, Stuart, from the future. Which results in meeting new friends, customs and time in a vastly different future. The greatest surprise being love.

    Hugh Jackman as Leopold is so at home with his role and his studies of 19th century ways and learning his a joy to watch. He is humorous and charismatic and this role he plays reminded me of The Prestige soley on the basis of the period setting it starts with.
    Meg Ryan plays Kate but her acting wasn't bad but nothing new. Reminiscent of her role in You've Got Mail.
    Liev Schreiber as Stuart does a relatively good supporting role.
    Breckin Meyer as Charlie was a funny, comic relief character.

    Sting's song for the film won a Golden Globe and Jackman nominated for one also, his performance again is top notch.

    Was a nice romantic time-travel plot with humour and a heart. Only thing in my mind it loses out on is maybe originality and a rather quick ending. It was a good outcome just needed more emphasis. More importantly it made me feel good and a love story never disappoints.
