Critic Reviews
It's very smart, very sleek and one of the great Hollywood romantic comedies. [04 Jul 2003, p.C2]
Woman of the Year certainly has its other auxiliary charms: beautifully textured lighting by cinematographer Joseph Ruttenberg; a luminous, if limited, performance by Fay Bainter as Tess’s motherly aunt; and some enchanting simulations of soft winter snowfall. But it’s hard not to feel berated, in a time that’s seeing the resurgence of a pernicious nationalism, by both the film’s anti-feminist slant and its insistent compulsion to put a box around Americanism.

A bit dated in its feminism, making some jokes even funnier. [08 Mar 2001, p.17W]
The chemistry is great, but the plot and tone are wobbly.
