Watched this free on YT and a couple things stood out. I realize it's a total fantasy, but the central message is shallow....shall we choose "wealth" over "beauty"....money or looks when we choose a spouse? I suppose the "love" of money or the "love" of a look is all that should matter. In any case, the homely, clumsy, bashful, and wealthy potential wife for Leopold was obviously crushed when he chose the beautiful Meg Ryan instead of her. Message being....beauty trumps money any day of the week or in any era. The other point was why didn't Kate(Meg) show any concern for Stuart's fall down the elevator shaft? He was in a hospital for a week after this traumatic accident and didn't receive a single call???? Yet he's the one who is instrumental in setting her up with her newfound love, Leopold??? Makes no sense and shows a self-centered callous disregard for one's "friends". Loved the period scenes. Could have been so much better if they had focused more on Leopold's reaction to the vastly different future world he suddenly found himself in.
