June 18, 2008Snappy romantic comedy! There's a reason Tracy and Hepburn were such a famous pair. Their chemistry and delivery of great dialog with plenty of attitude is worth seeing.

September 15, 2010Yet another classic black & white that surprised me with its mature, "modern" subject matter. The feature, in and of itself, is not that entertaining; but the main characters and their situation still ring true today.

December 1, 2007Hepburn and Tracy's first movie together. Romantic, funny and involved. A love story, but leaves out the cheesiness.

The premise is promising...But Stevens lacks the courage to make much of the conflict; the film ends with an embarrassing sequence in which Hepburn is tamed and installed in the kitchen. Full Review

Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
It starts strong, but bogs in a muddled slapstick finale.

Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
This is the first of many Tracy & Hepburn movies, and the chemistry's not quite there yet in this one. Some impressively funny scenes and a hilarious ending redeem the long stretches of predictability. Full Review
