Kate And Leopold (2001)

Fantastic. The kind of man which every woman would like to have. The acting is great, both from Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman, who plays a Duke tremendously well. Funny when it needs to be.

A wonderful romantic and funny film, just the type of man every woman desires!

I wasnt too sure what to expect of this movie but i really got into it. Hugh Jackman turns out an outstanding preformance! i was not expecting the posh accent at all but he really pulled it out of the bag, this character is a million miles away from his character in the x men movies which just shows what a talented actor he is. Every woman will fall in love with this character as i did or at very least go weak at the knees whenever he talks his old fashioned duke jibber. However Meg Ryan's character is not really all that likeable in my opinion and i had a hard time understanding how Leopold could fall in love with Kate so quickly lol. Over all, recommended to all!

It is only when one releases themselves from the chains of reality and cynicism, does one know how to appreciate this light hearted film.

It shows how easily manners and appreciation of time and (of all things) food can be so easily forgotten and that, like all romantic comedies, true love can only be achieved by overstepping that boundary, that leap of faith and that overwhelming feeling that no matter how absurd, it still feels right.

One of the better experiences of such a film is the ongoing feeling that once we see the two main characters who we want to fall in love, we forget that there is this plot line in the background. It is when the film allows us to ignore it for only a moment does a film within this genre succeeds.
