Remember those romantic comedies of old where the plots for the most part were usually entirely dispensible because all that really mattered was the chemistry between the two leads? Well this one reaches for just that high aspiration ...

Pretty decent Romance Comedy with likeable lead characters. They thankfully leave the politics generic. Not repeatable for DVD.

Speechless is overplotted and underwritten. Every situation is straight out of stock, with no room for variation or originality. Full Review
The movie's a campaign disaster from the get-go, and no amount of damage control (including MGM's extensive publicity) can hide it. Full Review

Utterly devoid of subtlety and grace, Speechless is a desperate, thrown-together hodgepodge that tries to glide by on the supposedly surefire chemistry of the pairing of Davis and Keaton. Full Review

Mugging to an unfunny script, Keaton and Davis are no Tracy and Hepburn, and the funereal pace doesn't help. Full Review
Toothless as political satire and bland as romantic comedy.
