MCT:August 16, 2008At times the film can be rather dull when the couple keeps continually having differences. At other times Katharine Hepburn shines and makes it all worth a watch.

MCT:July 11, 2008Unos pocos momentos inspirados no sostienen a un guión mediocre y una dirección confundida. Aburrida, tediosa, forzada, poco graciosa: para mí es un misterio por qué se la considera un clásico. / A few inspired moments do not sustain a mediocre script and confused direction. Boring, tedious, forced, generally unfunny; it's a mystery to me why this is considered a classic.

MCT: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.

MCT:March 5, 2008I never really was a Katherine Hepburn fan until this movie. Great acting from both Hepburn and Tracy; simply effortless and the chemistry couldn't be more apparent (I still can't believe it was their first film together). Despite the last 30 seconds of the film, which seemed rushed, it's a must-see! now I want some waffles =)

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

I'm a sucker for oldies... I just love the kitchen scene when she tries to cook! It sort of reminds me of myself.

MCT:November 4, 2007Even in this first Tracy and Hepburn pairing, this film's director (whom Hepburn was dating at the start of working on the project) and producer must have known that the plot and characterization didn't really matter ? people would see these two just to watch them burn up the screen together. The irony of their lovely interaction is twofold:
· In real life, Tracy and Hepburn probably had to work harder at their love affair than any married couple, given that Tracy's was already married and was bound by his religion to stay that way.
· The affair had to have felt like playing at marriage, similar to their roles in this film.
The film itself is at once ahead of its time and a product of its times. The role reversal of a second-banana husband to a globe-trotting career woman was undoubtedly cutting-edge. Given the commercial success of the movie, the idea must have intrigued a lot of women. The men they probably dragged to see it, though, were probably as uncomfortable as Sam Craig was. The resolution, that a good marriage is more fulfilling and ultimately, important than a sparkling career, was quite traditional.
The majority of the movie is rather choppy in its pacing, and the scenes feel disconnected, as if the transitions were left on the cutting room floor. And the lengthy, climactic scene where Hepburn does her best to make breakfast for Tracy (while still wearing her fur stoll), is far too long and campy.
The main reason to see this film is to see the start of the legendary Tracy and Hepburn affair ? there's simply nothing like watching two people fall truly, deeply in love. If that's not your cup of tea, you can easily skip all of their paired films. -

Eh...this was definitely not Katharine Hepburn or Spencer Tracy's best movie, but it's good to watch for those interested in old Hollywood romances since it sparked the 20-some odd year relationship between the two. Hepburn and Tracy's chemistry is the main thing that holds the movie apart along with Hepburn's superb acting as always and the hilarious kitchen scene at the end. In lesser hands than the two stars, I probably would have given this movie a lower rating.

MCT:June 24, 2007Could they have been any better? Could they have possibly had more chemistry? The film that started off their romance, Woman of the Year is the quintessencial Tracy-Hepburn - funny, with a lot of personality, and full of emotion. What a dynamic duo those two made! Completely, stunningly fabulous - Katharine's sassiness and Spencer's charm, the perfect match. Great flick.

The first Kate Hepburn film I ever saw, I became deeply fascinated with old Hollywood cinema after this viewing.

one of the most forbidden of romances is finally played out in this dramedy, tracy and hepburn have a very rare kind of chemistry that will completely entice anyone that watches it, funny yet smart
