Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
This well-intentioned but strangely cold tale concerns an emotionally repressed Southern belle (Julia Roberts) who separates from her husband (Dennis Quaid) after discovering he is an unabashed philanderer. Pressed by her dominating father (Robert Duvall) into reconciling with her spouse, Roberts's character chafes against so much male control over her destiny. Defended by a fiercely independent sister (a catchy performance by Kyra Sedgwick), the heroine develops the nerve to plot her own course in life while her mother (Gena Rowlands) finds the gumption to throw her own mate out of the house. The script by Callie Khouri (Thelma & Louise) is intelligent but hardly clear, and direction by Lasse Hallström (Once Around) can't keep Khouri's unfocused scenes and uncertain purpose from dissolving like sand castles in the rain. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My Favorite Julia Roberts Movie
I may be in the minority on this one, but this is my favorite Julie Roberts movie. Maybe it is my love of the South or my love of horses, but I find this movie to be funny and charming and pure southern family all rolled into one. Kyra Sedwick as Julie's sister is right on. They look so much alike that I am amazed that they are not sisters. Kyra has some of the best lines in the movie. I am also a big Gena Rowlands fan as well as Robert Duval. The girl that played the daughter is sweet and ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Avoid this film
If you love this movie or think the pairing of Julia Roberts and Dennis Quaid (I really do like both of them) sounds like a great movie, you should stop reading right now..

okay, you were warned.

The movie appears to be set in the 1990's but the way the characters act, you'd think it was maybe the late 50s or early 60s. But the language is definitely 1990s language (and foul). One example of the weird era is a meeting the main character attends, where the women are arguing ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of my wife's fav's
Got the movie for my wife, she loves Julia movies. If you are a Julia Roberts fan this is a must have in your collection



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A personal favorite
This is a movie I watch over and over. It's still funny and heartwarming no matter how many times I've watched it.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Pretty good.
Something to Talk About starring Julia Roberts and Dennis Quaid is a good chick flick. The two stars are funny and have natural chemistry but the person who really steals every scene is Kyra Sedgwick who plays Robert's meddlesome sister, she's a firecracker in this movie. I like this movie but it's not perfect, some imperfections here and there. If you are fan of Roberts then check this romantic comedy out!
