I think it's overhated. Cyril is definitely annoying, the Androzani miners are bizarre additions and the last 10 minutes are... yeah, they're that confusing, sexist mess. However, I think the stuff beforehand is actually quite lovely; with the Doctor being the caretaker, his initial meeting with Claire, the general wander through the woods - if the episode had been more like that and not had devolved into "haha men are weak, women strong but only if they're a mother" shit then this would be much more fondly remembered, because the tone at the beginning is really nice.
Great ending with Amy and Rory.
