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.

Nell Minow

Common Sense Media

Some nice moments but overall not a total success.

Rated: 3/5

Lael Loewenstein

Variety

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.

Emma Cochrane

Empire Magazine

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

Rated: 2/5

Michael Clark

Epoch Times

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.

I haven't been a great fan of romantic comedies in recent years. There's something lacking in them. But I've never been disappointed by any movie with Meg Ryan. Is it her, the quality of the films she agrees to be in, or were the writers better 2 decades ago? I don't know. This movie had some minor issues for me, but I'd still want to watch it again!
