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
Jackman commands Kate and Leopold as no actor has commanded a romantic comedy since Steve Martin in Roxanne.
Mesmo sendo um pouco mais longo do que deveria, o filme conta uma historinha simples, mas agradável – e se beneficia enormemente do carisma de Hugh Jackman como um dos personagens-título.
In establishing such a lofty pretence as time travel, Mangold then trots out an uninspiring love story which fails to play-up the cultural differences between characters.
...An average, workmanlike production, virtually indistinguishable from any other example of the pat, easily digested, box-office-successful formula faithfully churned out by Hollywood every day of the year.
