How original. A time travelling romantic comedy.,
By
This review is from: NEW Kate & Leopold (DVD) (DVD)
This is one of those pieces of film reviled by males the world over: A MEG RYAN ROMANTIC COMEDY. Ewww.KATE AND LEOPOLD sees Ryan playing herself as usual, but cleverly cast as an advertising executive in present day. Meanwhile in the 19th century a Duke named Leopold (Hugh Jackman) stumbles across a portal that brings him into the 21st Century. Obviously, given the title, their paths cross and despite the 200 year time space, they fall in love; as always happens in a Meg Ryan movie. Jackman was good as usual, and I kept wondering why he wasted his time with this fluff. Meg Ryan on the other hand, is Meg Ryan; so she just basically stands around with her hair all mussed up looking cute for the entire movie. I kept expecting a little old lady to walk on in every other scene and pinch her cheek and make baby noises about what a cutesy-wutesy she is. Yes, she izzy wizzy. DVD extras include a choice of viewing either the original cut or Director's Cut of the movie, an On Set feature, deleted scenes, director's commentary, photo gallery, a feature about the costume design and a Sting music video. If you're a woman, you'll probably love KATE AND LEOPOLD, but guys should steer clear. ...

Like another reviewer wrote: 'A Guilty Pleasure',
By
This review is from: Kate & Leopold (DVD)
I'm not a big Meg Ryan fan, nor am I a big Hugh Jackman fan, but I have liked this film since I first saw it several years ago. Lev Shreiber and Breckin Meyer join Jackman and Ryan in making this (Director's Cut, which makes more sense than the theatrical version) an enjoyable, likeable romp that works better and is somehow fresher than most other romance / time-travel / star-crossed love films in recent years.Some of our favourite moments? The chase through Central Park, "I love you forever", the dog collar incident, the elevator incident, and the Gretchen conversation. I can't explain why I / we enjoy this film and not others such as Time Traveller's Wife... we just do. And each time we pop some popcorn and curl up to watch Kate and Leopold we enjoy this guilty pleasure as much as the last time. The only other Meg Ryan films we like are Addicted to Love and Proof of Life, so if you also enjoy these films, why not give Kate and Leopold a try?

Don't look for historical fact!,
By Jeffrey P (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kate & Leopold (DVD)
As someone who knows a bit of history, the movie was spoiled a bit for me when the used a real character from history - HRH The Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, who had a real wife and real family. I would have prefered them to use a fictitious British prince instead of a real one. It would have saved me nitpicking this film.
