Critic Reviews

  • Lael Loewenstein, Variety

    A time-travel romantic comedy whose best elements -- Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman -- overcome distracting plot holes, loose threads and assorted contrivances to make for a mostly charming and diverting tale.

  • Charlotte O'Sullivan, Time Out

    Ironically, what jeopardises the transaction is Ryan.

  • Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

    The problem with Kate & Leopold is that although this is supposed to be a romantic comedy, the best scenes are the ones in which there's no Ryan.

  • Desson Thomson, Washington Post

    Clocking her umpteenth role as a romantic comedy character in a forgettable mainstream scenario, [Ryan] seems to have lost all allure.

  • Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle

    It's as if the actress agreed to take another America's-sweetheart role but her spirit didn't.

    this was so bad all i remember was liev schreiber in an elevator, which im sure was way more interesting than the rest of the movie

  • Red L


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