Reviews

One good reason for including this film in the FSFwiki (other than obsessive-compulsive completism) is to be able to quote this review of it from Gustave, "24" recapper at Television Without Pity:

Ah, an ad for Kate and Leopold. Where to begin? You know, I'm so glad a movie is finally addressing the problems facing today's society. Women are miserable these days and their lives suck. Oh sure, men and women are all living longer, and there are appliances that make household chores less time-consuming so women can get out of the house and have careers, but let's face it: it's an empty empty existence, because men don't stand up when the owner of a vagina leaves the table. Back in the 1800s, though, men were really really nice. They wore fancy suits, smelled like lavender twenty-four hours a day, and had super-cool names like Tristan and Leopold. Yeah, some historians would have you believe that a gentleman in his thirties back then wouldn't give the time of day to a woman past her childbearing years (i.e. anyone over twenty-one) because of the importance of producing heirs, but that's just sexist bullshit fostered by male academics. Men back in the 1800s remembered birthdays and anniversaries, and because there was no TV back then, they didn't zone out watching ESPN all day. Victorian England was a feminist utopia. God, I wish someone would invent a time machine or something. I don't think I can handle another day without being picked up on horseback.
