July 23, 2009Clever and excellent characterisations elevate the familiar story of how Julia Roberts's life is thrown into turmoil when she discovers that husband Dennis Quaid has been cheating on her.
Director Lasse Hallstrom did a good job with this drama movie. He certainly seemed fascinat... read more -

August 24, 2009Adorable movie. Lots of good acting. The relationship between Roberts' and Sedgwick's characters reminded me of my sister and I's.

March 18, 2012I thought Sedgwick was pretty awesome as the sassy sister. But other than that, it was a so-so movie.

February 5, 2008Dennis Quaid and Julia were a very funny couple. I enjoyed the chemistry between the two. But Kyra Sedgwick stole the scenes she were in.

January 20, 2008I loved it. It was about a woman taking the time to learn what's best for her. So many times we're stuck on the ideals that we overlook the obvious (which is usually to our own hurt).

Everything about Something to Talk About feels off by a few beats.

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
In [Khouri's] zeal to portray a world full of male scum, she creates a morally mismatched, pandering scenario. Full Review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Something to Talk About never goes bad, though it does get corny in places, and it hits a couple of dull patches near the finish. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Hal Hinson, Washington Post

Randy Shulman, Metro Weekly (Washington, DC)
Dull, dumb and listless.
