Kate & Leopold

I must admit this one surprised me and perhaps it shouldn't have. With the star power of Hugh Jackman and Meg Ryan behind it one would be of the mind it should work but the big studios have a wonderful knack for screwing these sort of things up hence why avoided this little romantic comedy and that is all it is.....a little romantic comedy. A delightful one too in which director James Mangold shows why he is a cut above the rest. No need to go into the details here, it works if this is what you are looking for and there is a neat cameo from the late Spalding Gray and even though Ryan has made a living off of rehashing this character she still comes off smelling fresh as a daisy.....not a small feat in this age of "been there, seen that".
