The story (*1/2)
How the story unfolds (*1/2 poorly interwoven subplots, inability to build up any suspense)
The characters (*1/2 shameful waste of talented actors)
The acting (*1/2 despite lack of chance to deliver a solid performance--many of Hepburn’s serious fans cringe at the thought of her being in a movie like this, she does actually give a good performance; managing to create a warm, sympathetic character that nevertheless has enough guts to stand up to all her cousins and not let them boss her around)
Overall rating *1/2 out of 4 stars
