A hysterical mother, a henpecked father and a domineering sister: poor Pat has her work cut out, and not only because she must serve at table and do the dishes. The man she adores persistently overlooks her, and whatever she does in order to change this seems to backfire. Her attempts to develop a 'personality' are hilarious. Marion Davis is great as Pat, and so are Maria Dressler and Dell Henderson as her parents. The other men in the picture remain a bit underdeveloped, and so does Jane Winton as Pat's older sister. The pacing of the film is somewhat uneven, but it is still a great comedy. Highly recommended.
