Profile of Kate and Leopold

Kate and Leopold can be described as feel good, humorous, and offbeat. The plot revolves around a supernatural romance, a "fish out of water", and misfits. The main genres are comedy, romance, and fantasy. In approach, Kate and Leopold is fantastical. It is located in New York. It takes place in the 19th century and in contemporary times. Kate and Leopold is well suited for a date night.

Summary of Kate and Leopold

In this romance novel come to life, Meg Ryan plays the titular Kate, a career-driven market researcher who's been burned by love. Her science-obsessed ex-boyfriend (Liev Schreiber), who lives in the apartment upstairs from hers, says he's found a portal to travel through time and has brought a nineteenth-century nobleman, Leopold (Hugh Jackman), back with him. Kate's not buying it, and she angrily calls him crazy. But when her irritating ex is laid up in the hospital, she reluctantly assumes responsibility for the seemingly helpless stranger, Leopold. At first baffled by his forthrightness and old-fashioned chivalry--complete with white horse!--Kate soon finds herself falling in love with Leopold despite her best efforts. But if he doesn't return to his own century, the fabric of time could be disastrously altered.

BACK TO THE FUTURE plus WHEN HARRY MET SALLY equals KATE AND LEOPOLD, a charming, idealistic romance that will make you believe in true love. In addition to engaging performances by Ryan, Jackman, and Schreiber, James Mangold, the film's director, appears in a tongue-in-cheek cameo as an irate film director, and Spalding Gray stars as Schreiber's psychiatrist.

TV Guide

Once it settles down, it becomes a star-making vehicle for Jackman, and a supremely polished example of the sort of swoony love story cherished by women who secretly hope that some day their prince will come. Full Review

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. Full Review

Too much of a stretch

I'll swallow the whole time travel business, but the idea that Leopold would fall for Kate is impossible to believe. Why would he? There's no reason. Huge Ackman is great as is Liev Schreiber. The story is predictable cheese, but sometimes that's... Read and rate it
