" Pasadera, divertida en algunos momentos, pero siendo exigentes con el género, lo mejor del filme sigue siendo la canción nominada... "
Cinenganos
Alex Ramirez
"An amusing time-travel theme plus Hugh Jackman in his dashing Duke's uniform and Meg Ryan looking as perky as ever -- what more could incurable romantics ask for?"
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
C+
"It's a lot like those Cary Grant screwball comedies."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
1.5/4
"The most unromantic romance of the year."
TheMovieBoy.com
Dustin Putman
1.5/4
""You're sucking the life out of American cinema," says a market research exec to Meg Ryan's titular Kate."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
B-
"An amusing diversion while we're waiting for something better to come along."

1.5/4
"I seriously doubt it would have even gotten past the internet phase of Miramax’s Project Greenlight."
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
1.5/4
"Witless and relentlessly cliched'...this whimsy whoopie cushion of a lame romantic fable is as soggy as a Jackie Collins novel that fell into a jacuzzi."
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
B+
"Winning fluff, easy to take and easy to like--the rare example of its genre that's genuinely enjoyable."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"Hugh Jackman is a delight as Leopold, the perfect gentleman who's a model of urbanity and civility so desperately missing from our times."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
3/4
"Delivers the kind of warm, familiar mixed brew of romance, humor, light drama, and pleasant character interaction that has made many of Ryan's similar endeavors successful box office performers."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"One of the better examples of romantic comedies doing the rounds and even though it is overlong at times, it will make for passable video fodder one dreary Sunday evening."
Sci-Fi Movie Page
James O'Ehley
"More forced than touching, lacking much of a serviceable plot and simply feeling off-track right from the get-go."
Screen It!
Jim Judy
6/10
"Cute. Funny. Charming. Romantic. Predictable. Fluffy. Recycled. Long."
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
7/10
"...after a few forays into delightful romantic comedy, it falls headfirst into complete but welcome predictability."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
3/10
"As far as the acting goes, it's not a good sign when Breckin Meyer ... is the highlight of the film."
Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick
3/4
"Es como un chocolate: aunque no aporta nada sustancial, es un deleite pasajero que bien vale la pena disfrutar."
Moviola
Jorge Avila Andrade
4/5
""Life is not comprised solely of tasks, but tastes.""
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
B
"The script is sweet, but not sappy, and attempts to stay within the bounds of time travel logic"
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
2.5/5
"Once it settles down, it becomes a star-making vehicle for Jackman, and a supremely polished example of the sort of swoony love story cherished by women who secretly hope that some day their prince
will
come."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
3/4
"A simple pleasure--the kind of entertainment romantic comedies are prone to provide."
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
2.5/4
"Kate & Leopold is the perfect film-product. Tastes great and won't go to your thighs."
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
"What a waste of a premise!"
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
2/4
"Put Ryan and Jackman together, and they fail the simple Alka Seltzer chemistry test: plop, plop, fizzle, fizzle, and no, what a relief it isn't."
Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina
2.5/4
"While the time travel plot is downright silly, fine performances and excellent romantic chemistry rescue the story for the most part ..."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
B-
"It’s a decent alternative when you find all the big event movies are sold out [and] you won’t need a hankie, either."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
"The problem with
Kate & Leopold
is that although this is supposed to be a romantic comedy, the best scenes are the ones in which there's no Ryan."
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
C
"Likeable as they are, Kate and Leo are hampered by the heavy-handed storytelling going on around them."
Decent Films Guide
Steven D. Greydanus
