“Kate & Leopold” Review
Kate & Leopold (2001)
Coming from James Mangold, the director of ‘Girl, Interrupted‘ (1999), ‘Kate & Leopold‘ is a romantic fantasy comedy, telling the story of Kate McKay (Meg Ryan), who lives a busy, but happy life in the 21st century New York. When her ex-boyfriend, Stuart Besser (Liev Schreiber), a scientist, manages to find a portal to the past, he, inadvertently, transports into his apartment Leopold (Hugh Jackman), a handsome Duke of Albany from the 19th century. Although Kate is a woman driven by common sense and realistic views on life, she soon succumbs to the charms of the mysterious stranger from 1867.
