‘Kate and Leopold’
One of the most underrated romantic comedies of the aughts, Kate and Leopold is a unique time-travel fantasy romp! Hugh Jackman stars as Duke Leopold of Albany, a peer who falls through a temporal time portal in 1876 and lands in the 21st century. Stuart Bester (Liev Schrieber), the man responsible for the portal, tries to look out for the displaced nobleman, but when he breaks his leg and goes to the hospital, his ex-girlfriend Kate (Meg Ryan) is forced to take care of Leopold. Of course, they fall in love and must choose between centuries. Anchored by Jackman’s extremely winning performance and Meg’s enduring appeal, Kate and Leopold is a delight.
