Kate And Leopold

In this romance novel come to life, Meg Ryan plays the titular Kate, a career-driven market researcher who's been burned by love. Her science-obsessed ex-boyfriend (Liev Schreiber), who lives in the apartment upstairs from hers, says he's found a portal to travel through time and has brought a nineteenth-century nobleman, Leopold (Hugh Jackman), back with him. Kate's not buying it, and she angrily calls him crazy. But when her irritating ex is laid up in the hospital, she reluctantly assumes responsibility for the seemingly helpless stranger, Leopold. At first baffled by his forthrightness and old-fashioned chivalry--complete with white horse!--Kate soon finds herself falling in love with Leopold despite her best efforts. But if he doesn't return to his own century, the fabric of time could be disastrously altered.
BACK TO THE FUTURE plus WHEN HARRY MET SALLY equals KATE AND LEOPOLD, a charming, idealistic romance that will make you believe in true love. In addition to engaging performances by Ryan, Jackman, and Schreiber, James Mangold, the film's director, appears in a tongue-in-cheek cameo as an irate film director, and Spalding Gray stars as Schreiber's psychiatrist.

    Romantic comedy queen Meg Ryan plays cute again in this mediocre offering that attempts to freshen the usual formula by throwing a dippy time-travelling plot into the mix. It's a rather disastrous combination. Hugh Jackman plays Leopold, Duke of Albany, an Englishman abroad in 19th-century New York who falls through a time portal to the present day where he meets the overly quirky Ryan and woos her in the old-fashioned way. But what's a gal to do when her man has to go back to his life in the past to ensure that his descendants have a future? With this genre, the staple story of boy meets girl is often complicated but rarely is it so implausible.

    A nice escape from reality for incurable romantics. More suited to the dreamy female collapsing on the sofa on a Sunday afternoon. Not the best from Meg Ryan but watchable nonetheless

    X-Men Origins: Wolverine: Hugh Jackman and Gavin Hood interview

    • 29 Apr 2009

    The last time we caught up with Hugh Jackman he had just been named People magazine’s Sexiest Man of 2008. And while Hugh has no problem with stuntwork – before we spoke he made abseiling for charity look effortless (pictured) – it seems he’s still getting used to the idea of his sex appeal - a source of much amusement for Gavin Hood, Hugh’s director on X-Men Origins: Wolverine. We talked to them both about working with Liev Schreiber, and how they felt when the... Read more
