Reviews for Kate and Leopold
It's a stupid film but not a malicious one.
12/27/01
Ryan does her cute-as-a-button thing once again, which works extremely well in this context, and Jackman responds with charm and grace.
12/27/01
This isn't a sci-fi movie, but you end up brooding about inconsistencies.
12/27/01
The culture clashes you expect follow, but what isn't expected is how marvelous Jackman is in the role.
12/26/01
A romantic comedy with something on its mind -- not necessarily a message, but a reminder of just how far astray we've gone in our relationships with one another.
12/26/01
It's a charmer.
12/26/01
Top CriticWe're willing to suspend our disbelief, but the movie lacks its own inner logic.
12/26/01
Top CriticThe most unromantic romance of the year.
12/26/01
Time-travel lite: a fluffy and enjoyable romance
12/25/01
The irresistible force that is Hugh Jackman -- or was it his swoony Leopold? -- swept me off my seat and into the movie.
12/25/01
Top CriticThe material is badly directed by co-writer/director Mangold, who plays many scenes far too broadly.
12/25/01
Together, Jackman and Ryan really click.
12/25/01
Top CriticOne of the reasons the movie works is because we like the goodness of the characters.
12/25/01
Top CriticThe whole enterprise feels false and manipulative, run through the wringer of focus groups and test audiences.
12/25/01
An intelligent, crowd-pleasing take on the time travel love story.
12/25/01
Apparently they were made for each other (unfortunately the actors weren't).
12/25/01
Top CriticToo bad director/co-writer James Mangold ... couldn't come up with anything fresher and more worthy of Jackman's suave grace.
12/25/01
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.
