Consensus: Though Jackman charms, Kate and Leopold is bland and predictable, and the time travel scenario lacks inner logic.

MEG RYAN and HUGH JACKMAN star in KATE & LEOPOLD, the story of two strangers in New York City, separated by a hundred years. When they meet, a century's worth of differences come crashing together.
Kate McKay is a modern-day executive, a 21st century woman driven to succeed in the corporate world. Leopold, the Third Duke of Albany, is a charming 19th century bachelor. Each has grown weary of waiting for love. But when a dramatic twist of fate lands Leopold in present-day New York, they must confront the prospect of a love affair 100 years in the making.
LIEV SCHREIBER (the "Scream" trilogy, "A Walk on the Moon") co-stars as Kate's genius ex-boyfriend Stuart, who discovers the portal that accidentally transports his great great grandfather Leopold from 1867 to the new millenium. Also co-starring are BRECKIN MEYER ("Go," "Roadtrip," television's "Inside Schwartz") as Kate's brother Charlie, NATASHA LYONNE ("American Pie," "Slums of Beverly Hills") as her loyal assistant Darci, and BRADLEY WHITFORD (television's "The West Wing") as J.J., Kate's boss.
KATE & LEOPOLD is directed and co-written by JAMES MANGOLD (director/co-writer of "Girl, Interrupted" and director/writer of "Cop Land"). CATHY KONRAD (producer of the "Scream" trilogy, "Girl, Interrupted," and the upcoming "The Sweetest Thing," starring Cameron Diaz) is the film's producer. -- © 2001 Miramax

Reviews for Kate and Leopold
One of the better examples of romantic comedies doing the rounds and even though it is overlong at times, it will make for passable video fodder one dreary Sunday evening.
There's nothing particularly earth-shaking about the movie, but Ryan, Jackman, Schreiber and Breckin Meyer do their best to make the two hours bright and breezy.
An amusing time-travel theme plus Hugh Jackman in his dashing Duke's uniform and Meg Ryan looking as perky as ever -- what more could incurable romantics ask for?
...after a few forays into delightful romantic comedy, it falls headfirst into complete but welcome predictability.
Likeable as they are, Kate and Leo are hampered by the heavy-handed storytelling going on around them.
Es como un chocolate: aunque no aporta nada sustancial, es un deleite pasajero que bien vale la pena disfrutar.
Pasadera, divertida en algunos momentos, pero siendo exigentes con el género, lo mejor del filme sigue siendo la canción nominada...
Hilarious at times, unbearably soppy at others, Kate & Leopold is comfortable viewing for old romantics.
Witless and relentlessly cliched'...this whimsy whoopie cushion of a lame romantic fable is as soggy as a Jackie Collins novel that fell into a jacuzzi.
