Pros: Entertaining movie. Hugh Jackman Cons: Not as good as it could have been.
As it can probably be told by most of my book reviews and some of my movie reviews, I like love stories. Yes I know they aren't realistic, but they are good for escaping from life for a bit. And I enjoy them. I like different types of love stories,...
Pros: Hugh Jackman, cute twist on the Cinderella theme Cons: Meg Ryan, predictability
One common complaint is that movies often fall into the “predictable” category. While it’s nice to have something unexpected happen, there are times when predictable doesn’t really detract from the story. I’ve found this to be true usually in the case ...
Pros: Hugh Jackman not only looks good, but pulls this movie together. Cons: Meg Ryan playing the same role that she always does.
At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like this one or not, given the fact that it was a romantic comedy, and second that Meg Ryan was in it. Don't get me wrong, I've liked some of the films that she's appeared in, most notably City of Angels....
Pros: Hugh Jackman, what a hunk! Well, that's what a girl might say. Cons: Contrived love story, pasta for hair, speed of gravity?
I couldn't tell you how many times I passed this one up in the video store. I mean, yeah it looked like another one of those cheesy "boy meets girl" stories, the likes of which my mother, bless her heart and praise God for her, exposed me to in rather...
Pros: Hugh Jackman, most moments from Schreiber and Lyonne Cons: Meg Ryan, film length, missed story possibilities
“Kate & Leopold” starts with one silly joke, and it sets the tone for the next two hours. A man, at the dedication of the Brooklyn Bridge, repeatedly refers to the structure as an erection. While the speaker is correct, he says it several times, as if...
Pros: Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Breckin Meyer, and Natasha Lyonne Cons: Meg Ryan's Lips...A few problems with consistency
If you can get past the fact that Meg Ryan is no longer cute, and a story that has plot holes in it the size of Grand Canyon, you might still be able to while away an hour or two in a mindless daze munching popcorn and passing gas while you watch this...
Pros: Hugh Jackman cements his status as a leading man. Good supporting performances. Cons: Poorly written and directed.
I've been scrutinizing my copy of Daily Variety quite closely, making sure that none of the details of the little problem I had the other night with Johnny Carson made it into the trades. Fortunately, Madame Rose, my publicist, has again proved...
Pros: Meg Ryan, good acting, interesting story Cons: none that I could see!
I love going to the movies, and hate that I am never able to go as often as I like. Over the holiday my wife and I had the opportunity to take in a movie, and jumped at the chance. There were plenty of good films showing, but we wanted to find something...
Pros: Acting was somewhat good, some good jokes, chemistry
between Jackman and Ryan Cons: Shorts story, short scripts , short on being original.
What do you get when you mixed the likable but somewhat lagging Meg Ryan and the one dimensional but strong Hugh Jackman? Well you have "Kate and Leopold" but of course. This is a somewhat enjoyable but very tacky romantic comedy with a somewhat ...
Pros: Hugh Jackman's charming; Meg Ryan's cute... Cons: ...but together they're a dud.
There's no question that Meg Ryan is the queen of romantic comedies; no actress working today can carry off the wistful and wacky demands of the genre as well as she, and no actor, male or female, is so closely associated with the category. Yet for...
Pros: Liev Schriber is revealed as a genius of physical comedy. Cons: Even the time travel angle is uninspired
"Kate and Leopold" begins on April 28, 1876 as Leopold, third Duke of Albany (Hugh Jackman) is wandering lower Manhattan. While admiring the under-construction Brooklyn Bridge, he notices a strange figure (Stuart, played by Liev Schriber) pointing ...
Pros: Jackman, Meyer and Ryan are all okay. Cons: The film is a confusing mishmash of sitcom ideas.
“I found a portal into 1876”.
1876, New York. Leopold, the Duke of Albany (Hugh Jackman), is pressured to find a rich wife. He notices a strange man holding a small device at two functions and follows him, chasing him to the site where they...
Pros: Hugh Jackman's performance is simply terrific. Cons: Script is a horrendous mess. Direction is misdirected. Not very funny. Not very romantic.
OK, I’m getting tired of Meg Ryan. All those in favor, raise their hands. 1, 2, 4, (Michelle stop giving me the finger.) OK, not as many as I would have hoped. How about tired of Meg Ryan in movies without Tom Hanks or Billy Crystal? 10, 25, 100,...
Pros: Hugh Jackman sinks a different kind of claws into the audience. Cons: Meg's a wooden peg- inconsistent and inaccurate script
In 1876, Leopold (insert very many middle names) Montbattan, Duke of Albany, is attending the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge. There he sees Stuart, doing something strange with a small handheld device. (A camera, but, of course, Leopold doesn't know...
A pair of star-crossed lovers (Meg Ryan, You ve Got Mail and Hugh Jackman, X-Men) discover that passion and chivalry never go out of style! When a rip...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
