Trivia:
According to the DVD commentary, several of the film's actual crew members appear in the crew of the margarine commercial. more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Before Kate goes back in time, her dress is plain gray and her skirt is straight. When she is in 1876, her dress changed to one with black fringe lining that sticks out around the neck and the skirt has a large poof on the back. The dress in question was addressed in the special features of the film. The costume designer stated that she chose the design of this dress based on its ability to take simple modifications and fit nicely into a more elaborate "period" costume and be able to fit in to the style of dress that was socially acceptable once she had traveled to the 1900's. They added a bustle, short train and ruffles around the neckline so that it would contrast the more conservative style it once was in the 21st century. more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Roebling: Time. Time, it has been proposed, is the fourth dimension. And yet, for mortal man, time has no dimension at all. We are like horses with blinders, seeing only what lies before us. Forever guessing the future and fabricating the past.

Fine movie...could have been better though, 16 February 2005
8/10
Author: tnkcool from India

I'm a fan of Meg Ryan and think that she's one of the best there is in Hollywood right now. Yet, I believe that it was HUGH JACKMAN who stole the show in this movie. He is so charming and charismatic that you can hardly resist falling head over heels for him! Leopold is a duke from the 18th century who mistakenly lands up in the 21st century one day...and is obviously bewildered with everything he sees. He stays with the man who got him there at the first place, Stuart,Kate's (Meg Ryan) ex-boyfriend. Predictably, Leopold falls in love with Kate and she retaliates. Yet, he has to go back where he came from, and that poses a problem for their relationship. It's a cute movie, yet, I couldn't agree with the ending, though it was predictable. I just couldn't see eye to eye with the reasoning they gave us for the step Kate took. Okay movie...great if you have nothing else to do and like chick-flicks. That's exactly the reason I watched it. I liked it..but I've seen better by Meg Ryan.
