Movie Reviews

Austin Chronicle - 10/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenOne of the great Tracy-Hepburn pairings, this adaptation from the Broadway stage focuses on the love that grows from the contentious relationship...
Las Vegas Review-Journal - 9/10 by Carol ClingThe Spence & Kate show starts to show its age.
Time Out - 8/10 by Time Out StaffThe results are some splendidly crisp exchanges between the pair, and the inevitable scene of embarrassment where he is literally 'caught with his pants down'.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Mark Chalon Smith[I]t's still a witty, often diverting romantic comedy that further demonstrates how well the duo fit.
Movie Metropolis - 7/10 by James PlathA winning comedy that's as leisurely as the Eisenhower years, with just a hint of the rebellion that's coming down the pike.
New York Times - 7/10 by Bosley Crowther[Miss Hepburn and Mr. Tracy] can tote phone books on their heads or balance feathers on their chins and be amusing -- which is about the size of what they do here.
Filmcritic.com - 6/10 by Christopher NullDesk Set is quaintly funny and has a few memorable moments...it's ultimately harmless fun with a gossamer message about technology and gender roles.
Combustible Celluloid - 6/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonDesk Set is a big, shiny, doohickey coasting on the warm offerings of earlier triumphs.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyMildly amusing but not great comedy, penned by the Ephrons from a stage play, this eighth teaming of Tracy and Hepburn places the battle of the sexes in the workplace against the threat of new technology.
TV Guide - 6/10 by TV Guide StaffA charming, if predictable, romantic comedy is enlivened by the matchless talents of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn--as well as by its graceful use of a brand-new comic trope: the electronic computer.
