Summary: Cute, Clean, and Classy!!!
Comment: I must say, this is a fabulous romantic comedy. It's flirty and fun, while still maintaining a level of class. Despite have a time-loopy premise to it, the primary focus is on chivalry and the timelessness of 'classic romance'. Another great quality of the film is that it is CLEAN. This is something that can be shared with younger viewers without having to experience the awkwardness of watching a sexual scene with an 11 year old. Hugh Jackman's performance is just fantastic. He truly brought his character to life and into this modern world. Meg Ryan did a wonderful job as well. Overall a spectacular film, and one I would highly recommend!!!

Summary: Cute and Very Enjoyable
Comment: After reading some of the one and two star reviews, I wasn't expecting much when I started watching this movie. I'm not a Meg Ryan fan, but I quite like Hugh Jackman, so decided to give it a chance. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I really enjoyed this movie. I thought it was quite funny and I absolutely loved Jackman's portrayal of the Duke. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys this genre.

Summary: Lovely lovely fairytale!
Comment: I'm into romantic comedies BIG TIME, and so far my favorite is Just like Heaven. This movie though, is a VERY close second!! It's dreamy! It's magical! And it's romantic! I'd say this movie is the closest to Cinderella any movie can get. There seemed not much wrong with the acting of Meg Ryan (I read reviews where people complained about it). She definitely looked good. She looked beautiful. And the romance portrayed between her and Jackman was better than I remember seeing in any romantic comedy recently. Veryyy highly recommended. One of the best love stories you'll ever come across.

As I expect of any 'love story' with a happy ending, this one made me laugh, cry, dream...and completely convinced me all over again that true love really is true. :)

Summary: Kate & Leopold
Comment: What a charming pair Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman make! This romantic comedy is about the Duke of Albany, and while hosting a party in 1876 he notices someone that doesn't belong at his party. When he follows him, he literally like "Alice" falls into the rabbit hole and travels through time to the year 2001. Stuart Besser found this hole thru time making time travel possible, and he takes it upon himself to introduce the Duke to the future while trying to find a way to get him back where he belongs. When Leopold meets former Besser girlfriend Kate, they can't help but fall in love.

Yes, this is a completely predictable movie, but so what! It is the ultimate in romance, and we all need to dream a little bit.

Summary: Kate Ruined This For Me
Comment: Leopold is a man from the past who follows someone into a time warp and pops out in current day New York. He meets Kate, a modern day career woman, and the two fall in love. Will she follow him back to his own time? Hmm, bet you can't guess.

The storyline was simple and really could have worked if Kate had been more likeable. Hugh Jackman played Leopold well, really making his character come alive, but I just didn't understand why he would fall for such a plain-looking, gruff woman. There wasn't any chemistry between the two and I couldn't pinpoint the moment when the two fell in love (especially on Leopold's side). There were some good secondary characters, but the primary relationship (or lack thereof) made this movie a dud.

Meg Ryan (YOU'VE GOT MAIL) and Hugh Jackman (X-MEN) are paired as star-crossed lovers who discover that passion and chivalry never go out of style! When a rip in time brings together a charming 19th century bachelor and a thoroughly 21st century woman, the potential for an old-fashioned modern romance ignites! Also starring Breckin Meyer (ROAD TRIP) and Liev Schreiber (SCREAM 3).
