    Good cast but extremely unrealistic plot.

    I thought this was a sensational movie. Hugh Jackman was a nonstop romancer. Meg Ryan was very outgoing in this movie.

    As unrealistic as this film is, it's unbelievably sweet. I must admit that I adore Meg Ryan!!! She's just so elegant in this movie!!! Go out and see it...you won't be wasting your time!

    After seeing "Someone Like You" last year, I thought of Meg Ryan. In a romantic comedy, you have to make the audience like you. This is no small feat. So what if she plays variations of the same hopeless romantic character. She's good at it. And she's probably a nice person too. Look at how Hugh Jackman is allowed to shine in scenes when she's off-camera.

    "Kate and Leopold" is a charming romantic comedy. It is one of the few current movies with the heart and soul of a classic film. However, at times it can be a little repetitive. Definately a chick-flick.

    Silly me..I misread the title and thought it was a movie about dancing called Kate & Leotard..I dont know what was worse..the script or Meg Ryan's hairdo. They took a decent idea and made a mess of it. I disliked the movie so much I wanted to transport myself back in time to prevent myself from watching it...

    Honestly! I thought it was hilarious! Nothing like that gruesome humour of There Is Something About Mary (that I can't stand) or Borat (ewww)! Thank Goodness we can still laugh, with classy stuff! a 7 in its genre! Delightful for sure! I love all the performances! Nevertheless, this is something I didn't totally like: Leopold falls in love with Kate far too quickly! We needed to see the romance developing a bit more. There should always be a transition on this matters. I did enjoy the film, indeed, but at times it was a bit corney for me...and I am a girl (very feminine but not girly-girl). Thumbs up, anyway!… Expand

    It just isn't a Meg Ryan movie unless she's got male.

    Has only the most tangential relation to reality, and therein lies its slender charm.

    Progressively sabotaged by poor technical quality, terrible plotting, a glaring lack of directorial skill and finesse, scenes that have no credibility and/or motivation and an astounding sloppiness to its historical detail.
