  This movie is all kinds of weird, but I love it for that reason. Time travel and love stories have never been so eloquently put together like this. Hugh Jackman dominates the screen as Leopold, becoming the epitome of an English Gentleman who loves his good butter and tea. Meg Ryan also does a great job at making the humor work so well. It's almost like a British interpretation of Back To the Future, only with a lot of Margarine bashing.

  Kate and Leopold made me think what would it be like, when something similar would happen to me. lol. A fun Movie.

• Thomas B

  
  for a rom-com/sci-fi, pretty lame.

• Coxxie M

  
  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.

  The movie was given its UK terrestrial premier at the same time as one of the World Cup matches on the other side, which shows that the channel in question knew what audience sector it was going to draw. The script moves quickly through the hard-to-swallow plot set-up so that we have little time to scoff at it, however it then has to deal with all the fish-out-of-water stuff. It blends from this into the romance of the title towards the inevitable conclusion. None of it is brilliant and parts of it are downright clunky but it does have a certain amount of charm to it. <i>James Mangold</i>'s direction is patient and avoids the "music video montage" trap of fish/water stuff or romantic comedies while the script is reasonably good even if it never overcomes the unlikeliness of the whole thing. What carries it is the playing from the cast ? or rather the star turn from <i>Hugh Jackman</i>. Most famous for this tough turn in action movies, <i>Hugh Jackman</i> plays it straight and charming from start to finish, not overdoing anything for laughs or allowing himself to wander too far out of character although the script does push his limits by what it has him do. <i>Meg Ryan</i> is not as good which is a bit ironic since the romantic comedy is where she was forged. She ticks the genre boxes easily enough but she can't convince to the degree that she needed to in order to lift the material. <i>Liev Schreiber</i> has a weak character early on and doesn't do much with it until late in the movie where he has at least one good scene. Support is solid enough from <i>Breckin Meyer</i>, <i>Natasha Lyonne</i>, <i>Spalding Gray</i>, <i>Bradley Whitford</i> and a few others but really the movie belongs to <i>Hugh Jackman</i> who leads it with charm and conviction. <b>Kate & Leopold</b> isn't a great movie and it has a limited appeal and plenty of weaknesses. However having said that it does have a certain style and appeal to it, thanks mainly to <i>Hugh Jackman</i>'s impressive turn and <i>James Mangold</i>'s solid direction.

  I really liked it until the end... one does not fall in love with someone in one week. It's preposterous.

  Leopold (Hugh Jackson) is an English Duke living in New York who is accidentally transported from the Nineteenth Century to present day New York. Kate (Meg Ryan) is a successful businesswoman living also in New York, but in 2001. The movie dwells on Leopold's adaptation to rudeness, quick pace and lack of culture. "A gentleman is a gentleman, and there are things that he does and does not do." Hugh Jackman is phenomenal (ohhhh la la) and the guy who plays Kate's brother (Breckin Meyer) is genuinely funny in the scene where he is trying to pick up a girl. Liev Schreiber was also superb. Can be a little cheesy but this movie is pure fun to watch, if you're in the mood for a romantic comedy escape from reality.

  very lovely movie, funny and romantic.

• William G

  
  A surprisingly amiable, if tidy, time-travel rom-com.
