Review of Kate & Leopold (2001) by Ashley T — 11 Nov 2009

The kind of film I could best describe as "cute." That's it in a nutshell; there is nothing particularly great about it, but it is likable. A lot of the humor is standard fish-out-of-water humor, but it actually works. Also suitably romantic. Good cast, too. Obviously a good date movie.

The only real problem is the writing. Good luck trying to figure the plot twists revealed in the climax. I don't know if even the screenwriters could explain it easily. Then again, you tend to get those problems with movies involving time travel.

Also, it's very long for a romantic comedy. I think they could have trimmed it a bit.
