Customer feedback praises Hepburn and Tracy's chemistry, the performances and the humor, while opinions about the story are mixed and some customers find the ending trite. That makes the film's character interplay a likely draw, but the story's resolution may not appeal to everyone. The ratings lean strongly positive overall, though that aggregate cannot show which aspects drove individual responses.
