Customer Reviews of Something to Talk About
I ADORE this movie There isn't anything in this that was earth shattering or incredible performances. It was just a good Sunday Afternoon flick, I own this one and forgot how much I enjoyed it until my Daughter and I pulled it off the shelf.
Julia Roberts does a believable job as a woman who has found out that her husband has screwed around on her. What I liked most about this movie was allll of the secondary characters... Kyra was the PERFECT Older sister looking out for her younger one, Gena was Great as the Southern Belle Mama, the Aunt (don't know this woman's name)was HILARIOUS as the "little" crazy Aunt that would/could go there. You really have to pay attention to this movie there are so many innuendos and funny moments that I truly can recommend this one. The actress that played the daughter was wonderful and last but not least Dennis Quaid did quite a convincing job as a contrite husband (once he was caught).
If you want something along this plot line I would also suggest "Hope Floats" which also stars Gena Rowlands and has pretty much the same subject matter but not the same movie. Enjoy.

Not much to speak of...
A real disappointment. Great cast (Julia Roberts, Dennis Quaid,Robert DuVall, Gena Rowlands, Kyra Sedgwick and a number of talented character actors); accomplished director (Lasse Hallstrom of "Cider House Rules," "Chocolat," and "My Life as a Dog" fame); noted screenwriter (Callie Khouri, who also penned "Themlma and Louise")--all of which makes you wonder, "What the heck went wrong!"
It must have looked good on paper, but this quasi-feminist tale of a woman, who catches her husband straying and then proceeds to make a public spectacle of herself (more than once)is just clumsy and ultimately unsatisfying. All the silliness is supposed to just be the stones in the path of Julia's personal growth. But really, after the debacle at the Ladies' Club, anyone but Julia Roberts would have been forced to leave town. If it were funny, that's be one thing, but it's really just awkward. A damn shame, considering all the talent involved.
If there were no such things as rentals, admirers of Julia Roberts or the rest of the cast--or of director Hallstrom--might have to actually buy this one, but while it may be worth a look-see, it's only a must buy for the most die-hard of fans.
One of the 10-12 I watch repeatedly. . .
As a 30-something chick, I have a few romantic comedies and dramas that I have watched so many times I can repeat them line for line. I put them on, if for nothing else, for the background noise. This movie is one of them. The title of the movie says it all; Julia Roberts (Grace) gives the entire town something to talk about when she finds out about her husband's cheating ways. The movie is funny and poignant at the same time, making the viewer re-visit some decisions they made in their lives that got them where they are today. Kyra Sedgwick is absolutely fabulous (much better than in "Singles") and Gena Rowlands is wonderful, as well. Pair that with a great subplot about horse competitions and coming to grip with aging, you've got a great movie that was completely underrated by most critics.
