Goofs:
Plot holes: Leopold is credited for inventing the elevator, so when he disappears in time, elevators vanish yet their shafts remain for some reason, such as the one Stuart falls into. Also, in the modern-day alternate future, people trudge up the stairs in 50-story buildings. Had Leopold not invented the elevator, buildings would likely never have been built so high, or more likely the elevator would simply have been invented by someone else, say Elisha Otis, who founded his elevator company in 1853.

If you can accept the totally ridiculous premise of KATE AND LEOPOLD and enjoy romantic fantasies of this sort, you'll find yourself drawn into the plot because of the very charismatic HUGH JACKMAN. He is the main reason for watching and carries the film on his sturdy shoulders, so adept is he at being a "knight in shining armor".
As for MEG RYAN, she is giving her usual Meg Ryan schtick--a sort of slightly brighter version of Goldie Hawn--but here it doesn't matter because Jackman manages to steal every scene he's in. BRECKIN MEYER is excellent as her boorish brother who learns a few things from his 18th Century friend about manners and etiquette. But it's the time travel aspect of the story that is its weakest link.
Highly recommended as a romantic comedy that owes much of its charm to the performance of its leading man--an actor of remarkable skill whose hunky presence dominates much of the movie.
It's the sort of romantic fluff that would have starred JEAN ARTHUR and GARY COOPER had it been made in the '30s. The New York location photography is excellent.
