Kerr's best-seller was a plotless package of anecdotes about her parental ordeal in raising a houseful of Lovable Brats. The movie, although droll in spots, clumsily tries to make a big thing of the fact that Daddy is a New York drama critic...

Doris Day's fluffy comedy, made at the height of her popularity, is based on Jean Kerr (married to film critic Walter Kerr), and co-stars a smooth David Niven as her husband.

Enjoyable romantic comedy suffers from excess length.
