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.

What to Know

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. Go to Full Review
Lael Loewenstein Variety 09/26/2008
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. Go to Full Review

Addhara M @Addhara 3d 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. See more edu 7 Sep 22 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. See more Ari V Sep 10 Meg Ryan's authenticity and chemistry with Jackman is a particularly hard sell for me here. See more Ace K Aug 9 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 See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 26 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more 152 windows into your sou l Jul 5 I’ll admit, my expectations for this 25 year old movie, ‘Kate and Leopold’ were not very high – I couldn’t have been more wrong, with it delivering a timeless message! I was surprisingly captivated by the many tender moments - beneath the comedy, is a touching love story, filled with 19th century intrigue and romance. Meg Ryan playing Kate McKay – has recently given up on a failed four year relationship, jaded by a series of disappointments, and has seemingly lost all hope of ever finding true love. Hugh Jackman, Leopold the Duke of Albany, is transported in time from 19th century to modern day New York City, and is immediately smitten by Kate. He employs the only approach he knows - 150 year old charm, seducing a hesitant Kate into his arms and eventually on a journey back in time. This movie successfully disproves the modern day myth - you can’t live a fairy tale! See more Read all reviews
