Kate McKay (Meg Ryan) 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 gent and bachelor of the late 18OOs. With career and social expectations looming, each has grown cynical about the very notion of falling in love. But when a rip in the fabric of time thrusts Leopold into present day New York, the potential for an old-fashioned modern romance ignites.

Critics Consensus

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

Some nice moments but overall not a total success.

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.

2/5

Despite a promising premise, Jackman's Golden Globe-nominated performance remains the only tangible reason to see this movie.

4/5

Manners, courtesy, chivalry, decorum, and honesty aren’t distant arcane archetypes. They are timeless traits that should never become passé, viewed as square, antiquated, socially scolded, or out of favor.

Kate & Leopold may have some plot holes but Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman are able to leave us entertained.

It didn't blow my socks off, but it was an enjoyable, if predictable watch. Highlighting the difference between the cultures would have improved it. The relationship also moved very quickly for me, but it is a decent movie to watch when you have time.

Good movie. Jackman is charming and plays the character very well, Meg Ryan is also good. Despite having some plot holes, the dynamic of the film is very enjoyable and it has a nice romantic story to tell. It reminded me to be chivalrous. Cheers.

Meg Ryan's authenticity and chemistry with Jackman is a particularly hard sell for me here.

I loved this movie so much! I don't really watch romance so this was very palatable to someone like me, the jokes were really great and I was laughing the whole movie, I liked the 1800s set design and outfits; the mixture of modern and old style clothes that Leopard would wear in the modern time looked really nice and it was a nice touch! Hugh Jackman and Meg Ryan are both complete eye candy in this movie (though I wish they gave Meg a better hairstyle, just the times I guess...) Over all this movie was really funny and the romance was sickly sweet, such a great watch! :D
