Kate and Leopold

 

Kate and Leopold 2001

  • Director: James Mangold
  • Seen by this director: Logan, Wolverine, Walk the Line, Identity, Girl Interrupted, Cop Land
  • Based on a book: no
  • Cast: Hugh Jackman, Meg Ryan, Liev Schreiber, Brecklin Meyer
  • Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
    • Hugh Jackman – Many 
    • Med Ryan – You Have Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, The Doors, When Harry Met Sally
  • Liev Schreiber – Many 
  • Brecklin Meyer – Clueless
  • Why?  Hugh Jackman
  • Seen:  Once before. Now 23 October 2024 

Who could have imagined, seeing Hugh Jackman here, that he would grow up to become Wolverine? Not I, but I remember liking the film because of him.

A simple story – a time travelling duke ends up in today’s New York and meets Kate   (Ryan). Rom com. Irritatingly idiotic story.

But Hugh Jackman. He can make any film worth seeing. Even this one. Not good but watchable. Jackman lifts it from 1* to 

2½ * of 5, and that’s a lot of heavy lifting.
