Underwhelming comedy-drama with A-list talent...

Sterling cast featuring not only Julia Roberts and Dennis Quaid, but also Robert Duvall, Gena Rowlands and Kyra Sedgwick, is a handsomely-made but rather ordinary, women's TV-type light drama (with barbed language added). Roberts plays harried working mom down South who... Full review
Definitely worth talking about

This is a cute movie, which shows how a couple grows apart and how a woman looses her identity as a person and a woman, because she gets so wrapped up in being a wife and a mother. Julia Roberts and... Full review

Something to Talk About is a horrible title, but I figured if it had Julia Roberts, Robert Duvall, Kyra Sedwick, and Dennis Quade, it would have to be at least decent. Unfortunitly I was very, very wrong. Something to Talk About... Full review

One of Julia's Best

This is a great "woman's" picture that is also very entertaining for anybody. Someone mentioned that Julia Roberts offers up a convincing southern accent. Well hell's bells, she's from Smyrna, Georgia. How convincing does she have to be! Set in Kentucky... Full review

First let me start off by saying that Julia Roberts is from Georgia...Her accent is real! This was a disappointing movie. Julia Roberts and Kyra Sedgwick have great chemistry as sisters and they LOOK like they could actually be related. Dennis... Full review

Julia Roberts and Dennis Quaid have great chemistry in this movie. What the director accomplished was that they took a serious subject and turned into comedy. Normally it wouldn't be funny, but I found this movie to be quite humorous. Anyone... Full review

Actually, that would have been a much better movie! As the film wound down & the ending made it's way round, I'm afraid I didn't much care about either one of the characters or their problems. ... Full Review

Something to Talk About" is at its best when Khouri's juicy script is adroitly mixing comedy and pathos. Plot points tend to be routine, situations do not always mesh with each other and the film can't seem to decide when and how it should end. ... Full Review

certain moments tap into human truths.....As for Grace, she tends to bounce off the walls, reveling in her own indecision for most of the movie..... ... Full Review

San Francisco Chronicle
If there's one thing "Something to Talk About" is shy of, though, it's letting its characters have a real talk. Something to Talk About" wants very much to turn the gender dynamics of Hollywood romantic comedy upside down; it's written by Callie Khouri, whose "Thel& Louise" won a loyal following with its all-men-are-creeps fatalism. ...
