Continuing my plan to watch every Hugh Jackman movie in order, I come to Kate & Leopold (2001)
Plot In A Paragraph: An English Duke (Hugh Jackman) from 1876 is inadvertedly dragged to modern day New York where he falls for a plucky advertising executive(Meg Ryan)
Preposterous in its concept, then again aren't all time travel movies, let alone time travel romantic comedies?? Thankfully the movie focuses on the fish out of water concept, instead of the time travel.
Not many people can do this type of role better than Meg Ryan. Teaming up with Copland director James Mangold for the first time, Jackman continues his attempts to try and play as many roles that are diffrent from Logan/Wolverine as possible plays The Third Duke of Albany who is suddenly transported to modern day New York.
Overly long, it drags in places, and could have used some trimming, but like Animal Attraction, it gets by on the performances of its leads and it was ok watch, on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Kate & Leopold grossed $47 million at the domestic box office, to be 53rdhighest grossing movie of 2001.
