"Kate & Leopold," starring Meg Ryan as Kate McKay and Hugh Jackman as Leopold, was released in 2001. The film opened to mixed reviews, with critics praising the chemistry between the leads and the charming premise, but some criticized its predictability and conventional romantic comedy tropes. At the box office, it performed moderately well but did not become a major hit.
Over time, "Kate & Leopold" has maintained a modest following among fans of romantic comedies. While it hasn't achieved widespread cult status, many viewers appreciate it as an underrated gem, especially for its nostalgic charm and the performances of Ryan and Jackman. Its blend of historical romance and lighthearted humor has aged reasonably well compared to other early-2000s rom-coms, allowing it to retain a warm place in the genre's landscape.
