Rating: 3 stars
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's him come back.
See, She let her man stray and had to pay the price. Men stray and you have to let them be forgiven Julia. The moral of this story is that there is no such thing. Boo-hoo

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Julia & Kyra, okay Duvall
Review: Julia Roberts is quick, funny and powerful in this one. Favorite scene? The Ladies Club meeting. A few truths and you'll be howling. Kyra Sedgwick plays the smart sister & she gets in a hilarious shot at Dennis Quaid that will have guys holding their breath. Robert Duvall plays the gruff father and he does okay but nothing stellar. This one can be viewed several times so buy it to keep and re-run occasionally.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If you don't laugh out loud often, check your pulse!
Review: Kyra Sedgwick had the best lines, and she delivered! The whole cast was funny! When Roberts concocts a "near death experience" for the philandering Quaid, it's hilarious.The Women's Club scene is a gem when Roberts wants to take names of any other paramours of her husband!Gena Rowlands "changed locks" scene with Duvall is priceless... Duvall wants to know if she got into the "Apple Wahn"... If anyone comes away from this one without being entertained, they ought to get out and about a little bit more! Sedgwick and Roberts resemble one another enough to pass for sisters.I'm surprised that they haven't been teamed up as sisters for a project that could lead to sequels.I think someone is missing the boat! (They're only two years apart in age, Sedgwick being the senior.)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A nice comedy, worth watching.
Review: Something to Talk About is the sort of movie that is saved by the cast. If it had not been for the work of people like Roberts, Duvall, Quaid, Sedgwick and others, this movie would hardly have been worth watching. Especially Kyra Sedgwick did a wonderfull job, but than she had all the good lines. Good work with the horses too and Dennis Quaid shows a surprising talent in handling children. The story itself is not very special, but the actors make the best of it, producing a pleasant comedy with rather more points of interest than is usual.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: An average movie!
Review: The story is average. If you have seen any other love story,then you have already seen it! The only problem are lots of swearing! Other than that if you like Dennis Quaid or Julia Roberts then you met like this movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I ADORE this movie
Review: 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.

Summary: very average
Review: this film is lacking solid writing and experiences many moments of Lapse timing.also Julia ROberts&Dennis Quaid never quite click.it has some moments but nothing but a average film all the way around.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Julia Roberts combo pack
Review: THIS IS A BOXED SET OF TWO MOVIES:Pelican Brief and Something To Talk About.Since it doesn't mention this anywhere I thought I could at least let people know what they are buying.I like both movies, Pelican Brief the superior one, but a good mix with a drama and a comedy included together. See seperate titles for more reviews.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Out of 5 Stars, I'd give it an 11
Review: This is my all time favorite movie. I laughed so hard at this movie the first time I had to go back to the theatre 3 more times to catch everything the cast of wonderful actors was saying. There is so much talent in this film you can't help but love it. This is about one woman, Julia Roberts, catching her husband, Dennis Quaid, in an affair and then wondering where everything fell apart. She struggles to regain her own idenity while growing into the adult she needs to be. It is so funny you'll have tears in your eyes. Watch it just to fill in this "Call him up and ask him what his favorite thing to eat is and if he says " " then tell him to come right over. You'll fall out laughing.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A GREAT MOVIE!
Review: This is one hilarious movie. I have watched it I know 20 times. I love the actors in this movie. They all put on a stellar performance. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the racial sterotype of the maid in the movie. They could have left that character out, especially since the woman NEVER utters a word. Robert Duvall is classic! He nearly steals the show from Julia and Dennis who also give stellar performances.
Rent or buy this one. YOu won't be disappointed!
