Summary: Time Traveling Love Story
Review: I have always enjoyed time travel stories just to see how the writer works out the twists and irregularities. Unfortunately time travel is just a device to get the two leads together. From that point we know they will fall in love and they will get together at the end of the film. But the cast is first rate. Meg Ryan does what she does best and Hugh Jackman seems destined to become the next superstar. The two supporting actors are very good. Great cast makes a poor story worth watching. The tale starts out with the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge in the late 1800s and moves forward to our time with Prince Leopold - in New York at the insistence of his uncle to look for a wife with money to shore up his family's faltering fortune - following a traveler from our time. He lands on Meg Ryans doorstep and eventually in her heart. There is a nice rooftop scene reminisent of The Goodbye Girl and several scenes that could be moved about however you like as they do nothing to advance the plot. If you pay attention at the beginning of the film you will see the end. Appropriate for a time travel tale, don't you think? Remember Somewhere In Time? You liked that, you will like this.

Summary: K&L on DVD is wonderful
Review: I love the way that the directors cut was included on this DVD.I think that some of these scenes were needed to make you want to see this film again and again . Also this is the only non childrens film I felt like I could watch with my mother this year so far.

Summary: Above average romantic comedy with a little fantasy too
Review: Check your logic at the door with this film because it's all about having fun. Meg Ryan makes a return to her specialty in this cute romantic comedy. The film is reminiscient of other time travel romances but it manages to make the film interesting without stuffing the 'science' down your throat. A truly charming Hugh Jackman stars as Duke Leopold, living in the 1800's and about to choose a bride. He follows a mysterious man (Liev Schriber) through a portal of time, and finds out this man, Stewart, is his great-great-great grandson. Through circumstances a little too complicated to go through now, Leopold comes to stay with Kate (Ryan) who is Stewart's ex girlfriend. At first the two are at odds and their banter is actually funny. Leopold is polite and charming, and helps Kate in distress. He even manages to teach Kate's younger brother (Breckin Meyer) how to get the ladies. What's not to love? A romance eventually develops between the two which leads to a conflict since Leopold obviously can't stay in the future. I won't tell you what happens but I will tell you it ends with a happily ever after. The reason the film works well is the charisma and the chemistry the two leads share. While it's nice to see Meg Ryan back in her forte, it's even nicer to see Hugh Jackman playing his role with depth and believability. I had liked him before but now I like him a lot and have sought out his other films. The bottom line is, if you're looking for a film with romance, wit and acting well done, 'Kate and Leopold' will definately leave you satisfied.

Summary: Are we sick enough of Ryan's shtick already?
Review: Once again Meg Ryan does her "ain't I the cutest thing?" bit in another boring film that isn't worth the price of a small Coke, not to mention the price of a movie rental!! Too bad there isn't a negative star rating. Barf! Barf! Barf! A great argument for why American society and culture just keeps getting dumber and dumber (but then, there are people who think Adam Sandler is funny, too, aren't there?)

Summary: What's with the lips ?
Review: Was I watching the same movie as the rest of you?
Meg Ryan looks like a hag. Her hair is horrible her
lips look like she's been sucking a vacuum cleaner hose
and she screeches through half of the movie.Jackman on
the other hand is smooth and every inch the duke. I noticed
the total lack of chemistry between them almost as much
I noticed that Ryan would have had an incestous relationship
with her own great-great-grandson...This was no cosmic love story ...too bad could have been much better.

Summary: I adore this movie!
Review: This movie does have elements of many genres, including science fiction, romance, and comedy, and is broad enough to be appealing to viewers of both genders. In fact, I think some of the male-interaction scenes, of which there are many, are perhaps more interesting to the men than the women. If not interesting, then at least educational: men, pay attention! There are some great old-school clues in here for wowing your women. As for the women, there's Hugh Jackman, so what else do you need? :)

Summary: My new hero
Review: Leopold is my new hero. He's not only a gentlemen, but he's a gentleman with moral absolutes. So much in our world is gray, that it's refreshing to meet someone who knows what he stands for. As a movie, it's a great romantic comedy. Who cares if it's "believeable". It's a wonderful escape from the threat of terrorist attacks and the rising jobless rate. The only thing I didn't care for was the amount of profanity. A couple of times it just didn't fit. At one point Leopold says, "Where the hell am I?" Leopold was an English gentlemen in 1876 and would NOT have used that kind of language. I think it could have been toned down a little in that area. The PG-13 rating is probably appropriate because of the language, but there is nothing else offensive in the movie.

Summary: Suspend Belief and Enjoy !...
Review: I had been told that to truly enjoy this romantic comedy, I needed to suspend belief, not think about time travel as a reality, and then just sit back and be entertained. I followed this good advice and really liked this movie for what it was....light, bright, and entertaining with no deep underlying message or dark side. Lots of laughs, some pratfalls, and an enjoyable couple of hours. Meg Ryan played her usual light comedy role with presence and her effervescent charm. Hugh Jackman was marvelous in his depiction of a chivalrous 19th century nobleman set adrift on the unfamiliar terrain of today's New York City. A good supporting cast is in place as well. When the Ryan and Jackman characters meet, sparks fly and romance begins.

Summary: Hugh Jackman is so hot, why can't there be a man like him
Review: When i first went in the theater to see KATE & LEOPOLD, i though it was going to be kind of chessy. But after i saw hugh jackman face i fell in love with the movie. He did a GOOD JOB as a new actor. I give him a 5 stars. I didnt really wanted to see the movie, because of Meg Rayan, she is not my favorate actor. She pretty but i don't like the way she walk as a pretty lady. and the way she dress in her movie, "like sleepless in seattle". But she did a good job. two thumb up for Hugh Jackman with his fine self. I LOVE U HUGH JACKMAN. I own every movie Hugh is in.

Summary: Lovely movie
Review: I originally went to see it to take in the wonder that is Bradley Whitford and was presently surprised to like the movie as a whole. Granted, Bradley is still a hottie in this movie, but the story between Kate [Meg] and Leopold [Hugh] is very sweet and touching. A must own for romantics at heart!
