Filmmaker James Mangold follows his Oscar-winning drama Girl, Interrupted (1999) with this whimsical fantasy. Meg Ryan stars as Kate McKay, a modern female executive in New York City whose drive to succeed in the cutthroat corporate world has left little time for romance. When her genius ex-boyfriend Stuart (Liev Schreiber) opens a portal in time, the experiment transports Leopold (Hugh Jackman) from 1867 to the present day. A charming bachelor and the royal "Third Duke of Albany" in his own time, Leopold is fascinated by the 21st century. As the courtly Leopold and the decidedly liberated Kate tour the town, a mutual attraction develops into something deeper, a relationship that's threatened by Leopold's temporary chronological status. Kate & Leopold (2001) was originally developed by co-screenwriter Steve Rogers as a project for star/producer Sandra Bullock, who had a hit with his film Hope Floats (1998). ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Both the theatrical and director's cut film versions are included on the Kate & Leopold DVD. Presented in widescreen 1.85:1 format with 5.1 Dolby Digital audio, the DVD includes English and Spanish captions and subtitles. The director's cut also has a French language track. Bonus materials include an on-the-set featurette with cast and crew interviews and seven deleted scenes. One particular scene entails a rather scandalous revelation between lead characters, Kate and Stuart. Feature commentary by director James Mangold is included for the film and deleted scenes. Rounding out the package is a still photo gallery, costume featurette, and Sting's "Until" music video. There are also sneak peeks for Miramax Gold, the Kate & Leopold soundtrack, Serendipity, Strictly Ballroom, Chocolat, The Importance of Being Earnest, and more. The costume featurette is particularly interesting as it compares working on two different time periods. All in all, fans are sure to enjoy the DVD release, but may be disappointed that no outtakes are included from this time-travel romantic comedy. ~ Terri Clark, All Movie Guide
