Welcome to Free Movie Monday, Sept 10, 2012. Today’s movie is Kate & Leopold , starring Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman. A brilliant scientist discovers time travel by falling through a rift in space and time. He travels back in time to test his theory and accidentally draws the attention of the man who will eventually invent the elevator. When the scientist races to jump off of a bridge to catch the next rift back to his own time, the inventor tries to save his life by stopping him from falling. The scientist and inventor, (who look remarkably similar to the characters on the movie Wolverine ), are both brought to modern time. Due to the disrupted space-time continuum, all the elevators cease to exist. As a result, the scientist falls down an elevator shaft, is taken to the hospital and gets admitted to a psychiatric ward for declaring that he needs to return the inventor back to his own time. Meanwhile the inventor stays in the scientist’s apartment and becomes familiar with the scientist’s x-girlfriend who lives downstairs. (Just to be clear, this movie is a romantic comedy. It’s not anything like the sci-fi movie you’d expect when the plot is based on time travel. And for the fellas who are tuning in, Wolverine doesn’t bust out his claws until the very end. OK, that’s actually a lie. He doesn’t do it at all in this film. I know its disappointing).
Family friendly content warning: The film is rated PG-13, though it is uncertain why. The content review on the Internet Movie Database mentioned that there is a “SH” word and “F” word though these weren’t detected when reviewing the movie for this post. A man does obtain injuries, however it is meant to be comical and does not occur from violence. A man and a woman chase a thief on a horse. When they corner him the man gives the thief some harsh threats then the thief leaves the purse and runs away. There is no nudity, although an unmarried man and woman lie in bed together fully clothed.
