Rating: Summary: Freedom Review: I enjoyed the movie, because it was very entertaining. I also found it interesting because the issues that were addressed are so real for so many women. So many of us make bad decisions due to family interference and pressure. Even without interference, we cannot predict how a marriage is going to sour in the future. Julia Roberts' character has nothing to be embarassed about. Her husband is the one who should be embarassed. The "friends" who covered up the affair should also be embarassed. Besides, a woman does not need to catch her husband red handed to know that an affair is going on. She may know even before the husband does.
Rating: Summary: Julia Roberts does it again! Review: I love Julia Roberts and she has once again proved to me why she is my favortie actress. I was rolling in the floor laughing during this movie. It is the perfect comedy-drama combination. My husband even liked it! It is a good couple movie.
Rating: Summary: An enjoyable and entertaining film Review: I Love the movie, it's good clean fun, probably not so much for the men as for us females. I have watched this time and time again plus do-not have to worry if my daughter wanders in and out as anything she should not be hearing would go over her head anyway. Kind of reminds me of a totaly modern, "Harper valley PTA" I have an old taped version that i borrowed from a friend years ago, so now i have just brought another copy so she can hers back. A must *****

Rating: Summary: It is very serious, but it is also very comical! Review: It is a great movie
Rating: Summary: Moves Along But It's a Little Light, a Little Bland Review: It moves along, but it's a little light, a little bland. I suggest skipping it unless you really love Julia Roberts, horses or marriages that almost fail but don't. It's not worth seeing for Quaid or Duval. The younger Robert Duval is my favorite male actor (To Kill A Mocking Bird, The Great Santini, Apocalypse Now), but nowadays he seems to have lost his dramatic power. (And Dennis Quaid's hair seems to be auditioning for a role as a winter quilt.) Robert Duval plays the owner of a ranch operation somewhere in the south, where he raises and trains show horses. Julia Roberts plays his daughter. She works for dad, managing the stables. Dennis Quaid plays her husband. Julia discovers that her husband has been cheating on her. In the course of being furious and ashamed, she discovers that he has slept with a number of women in town, all of whom she knows. At the office, Julia discusses her problems over the phone with a friend but uses a speakerphone and is overheard. He husband has a consultation over lunch at a restaurant, with the meanest divorce lawyer in town. The whole town is talking. Dennis Quaid apologizes to Julia, very insincerely. Julia's friends convince her to put up with it, forgive and take him back. Spontaneously, in the end, without any catharsis or precipitation, husband and wife dance together to the song, "Let's Give Them Something To Talk About." This is what passes fro reconciliation. Presumably everyone lives happily ever after. It was all just too easy.

Rating: Summary: Something to cry about Review: Julia finds out her perfect husband is knockin boots around town with some tramp and everyone knows about it but her. Being a real woman to accepts her man's faults and let him come back. She let her man stray and had to pay the price. Men stray and you have to let them be forgiven Julia.
