Summary: A Bridge Between Two Times
Review: Revolving around a time portal off the Brooklyn Bridge, romance ensues between Kate and Leopold. Her of market research butter fame and he of royalty, desparate for funds.This is the axis for the flick. You can see what's coming, out of another era falling in love with the aggressive woman who is jolted out of her time by his sincerity and class. All in all an enjoyable watch.

Summary: I fell in love
Review: Before I saw Kate & Leopold, I wouldn't exactly call my self a Romantic Comedy kind of girl, but after I saw it, that's all I will watch! Kate & Leopold is definately a "chick flick" but definately something you should see with a guy you like. Hugh Jackman did a great job and was such a gentleman you couldn't help but fall in love with him and wonder if true love really does exist. This movie has everything and is about destiny, love and fate, i would recommend it to ANYONE

Summary: BOGUS!
Review: Time travel movies should never take themselves as seriously as this one does because once logic sets in, the premise is already ludicrous. The plot is tiresome, the romance is thin, and the characters are VHS imitations of the already flat Seinfeld characters. I give the movie one star for the costumes and sets. Meg Ryan, so talented, completely wasted her time in this one.

Summary: YAWN!!
Review: What an amazingly boring, predictable movie. Having watched this movie, I no longer suffer from insomnia. The premise is great. A time travel story with a romantic twist but it is unbelievable in its love story and I figured out the end after ten minutes of sitting through the horrible pain of watching Meg Ryan play the SAME CHARACTER I have seen her play for the past 15 years and not be nearly as appealing as she can be. The performances are one demensional. The writing is bland. I found myself not caring what happened, I just wanted it to be over. Don't waste your time and especially your money. This movie is really one for your "miss it" list. Unless of course, your sleeping pills have not been working well.

Summary: GREAT BUT CONFUSING WITHOUT DVD OR SNEAK PREVIEW
Review: I don't like writing reviews unless I have something new to bring to the table so here goes: Cute, dark in my opinion romantic comedy, treat for Meg, Hugh, Liev, Breckin fans but here's what I'd like to say that will hopefully benefit someone: I saw the sneak preview before the movie came out which was basically the directors cut, pre-market research. WITHOUT viewing this first, the edited version makes no sense, and is implausible in every way. At lease with the directors cut, in FANTASYLAND the plot makes sense. Without that all crucial mysterious relationship, it does not make sense that Stuart would be so desperate to get Kate to take the jump. His reasons for doing so are the central reason for the plot, the impetus that everything revolves around, and removing that factor is inexplicable to me...for those of you who have remaining questions upon seeing the theatrical version, viewing the Directors cut will fill in pretty much all of the blanks. I just can't imagine why they chose to omit them later ... take a look at how many previous reviewers here are so baffled by Stuarts panic throughout the movie .... total mystery to me why they would leave the whole central plot point out of the final cut.. go figure ..great movie anyway (directors cut version 5 stars, theatrical version zero stars ...

Summary: Timeless
Review: Although this is not the most original theme for a movie, it works very well. Jackman makes an amazing Leopold (all manners and grace) and Ryan is a wonderful strong exec in the movie, adding the so-sweet interior stuff. The thing that worked in the movie was the clashing of ways of life. True, the time machine theme has been beaten down inccestantly, but how to fit in? That gives the movie the most hilarious moments and some fine performances by the two leads and all the secondary characters, especially Kate's brother and ex-boyfriend, who give the movie the salt. A classy, brought-up gentleman and an independent woman of the 20th century find out that time is no barrier for love. Much like "Somewhere in Time". Simply adorable.

Summary: "You're sucking the life out of American cinema!"
Review: That's from director James Mangold in a cameo appearance in his own film, *Kate and Leopold*. He's referring to the use of focus groups whom market researchers (and moviemakers, of course) use to "test" their advertising campaigns. Or movies. Doubtless *Kate and Leopold* itself went through a stringent focus group process before it was even sneak-previewed. As such, it strikes me as a wee bit hypocritcal that the movie would draw such self-referential attention to itself: Mangold diagnoses the sickness, but offers no cure. Anyway, the movie's about a British Duke (Hugh Jackman, acting like Fabio) living in 1876 New York, who -- with the assistance of a modern-day time traveller (Liev Schreiber) -- finds a "crack in time" after falling from atop the Brooklyn Bridge (which wasn't even close to being completed in 1876, but why quibble and spoil the fun, right?). The Duke meets Schreiber's ex-girlfriend (Meg Ryan) who lives in the apartment downstairs. They fall in love, blah blah. If you want to see this sort of thing done right, I recommend *Somewhere in Time* or even *Time After Time*. At least both of those films don't have Meg Ryan in them. Especially an AGING Meg Ryan, who, to my eyes, appears to have recently injected some collagen in her lips. The fact that Hugh Jackman is about 10 years younger than her doesn't seem so much daring as it seems purely cynical: hey, according to the focus groups, women Meg's age are the demographic for movies like this, and the older-woman / younger-man thing has a sort of romance-novel appeal, I suppose. They certainly don't make movies like these to appeal to guys. Meg Ryan tiredly doing her ditzy routine underneath a Hawaiian-skirt hairstyle that's constantly in her eyes will not float the boats of red-blooded American males. The movie DOES earn exactly two belly-laughs during the scenes in which Jackman reads ad-copy for a butter-substitute product.

Summary: Amazing! Purely Amazing!
Review: This movie does more than entertain you. This movie makes you want to get up and find YOUR true love. Inspiring and amazing are the words that first come in to my mind when watching this movie. Meg Ryan places a top executive and Hugh Jackson places a Duke from the year 1876. The plot thickens as you sit wishing she would fall in love with him, after he was time warped into the current year 2001. Every second counts, so don't stop watching for a second. You'll fall in love with each character every time you watch this marvelous piece of work. Buy it, rent it, borrow it from a friend. Do whatever you have to in order see this movie. You won't regret it.

Summary: Cute but sloppy
Review: It's your classic Meg Ryan vehicle, with time travel thrown in for good measure. Hugh Jackman shines as the well-mannered charmer, Breckin Meyer is quite funny as the amiable dunce. Alas, the reference to La Boheme is amusing. Leopold came from 1876, when Puccini was 18, La Boheme didn't premiere until 1896. It doesn't bode well for Hollywood when not one person involved in the movie knew this or at least checked the facts.

Summary: I love this movie!
Review: I thought Kate and Leopold was an awesome movie! I love romantic movies and romantic comedies. I fell in love with Leopold as the movie went on! It was the sweetest movie! Anyone who likes movies in the romantic/comedy area will love this. I don't want to say more about the movie because if you are interested you shouldn't read reviews and find out what it's about, you should just watch it! A lot more fun that way!
