Movie Reviews of Pat and Mike
Movie Review: An inspirational film at a time when one was needed!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a fun film for sports fans. It is only unfortunate that it is so sickenly anti-feminist until the very end. People act as if a woman had no business being an athlete, as if she had no business being a person of any influence at all. I didn't live through the fifties, and if this is accurate, I am appalled. It does get to be a good movie at the end though when Katharine starts kicking some butt!Movie Review: Two Pros at Work Here
Summary: 3 Stars
Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn made many pictures together during their long romance, and "Pat and Mike" is a pretty good one. Kate is a take-off of Babe Diedrikson, an all-around female athlete who is currently a golf championship contender. Spence is the Damon Runyon type who lines himself up as her manager/trainer. Much of the comedy in the piece comes from the disconnect between "dese,dem, and dose" Spence and high school teacher Kate trying to seek common ground. Plot device similar to the later "Desk Set" where the Kate character is smitten with a guy who's just not good enough, until she comes to her senses and accepts Spence as her lover. Check it out.Movie Review: Chemstry101.

I've seen eight of the nine Hepburn-Tracy movies & Pat & Mike makes the first bracket, as do all the comedies. The least of them is better than any of the dramas the two stars did. Cherce. Pat is an all-seasons atheletically gifted amateur. Mike is a slightly bent promoter who sees her as his meal ticket. She really doesn't do the cause of women any favors in this one. She's totally flustered & befuddled with her boyfriend, which is part of the plot & listens to & obviously has great affection for Mike. Light but not bad. There are also cameos of golfers & tennis pros of the era.Movie Review: For the Hepburn/ Tracy fans
Summary: 3 Stars
A comedy almost classic. I am more disapointed in this multi pro cameo line up with Katheryn in awe playing with them. Her tennis and golf swings are amusing to watch as the balls dribble off to the sides. Watch this when you are bored and cann't sleep.
