Critics Consensus

Small-town gossip and a battle of the sexes should really add up to more than Something to Talk About, especially with this much talent before the camera.

Basically, the message is: your spouse cheated? Get mad, then get over it. The end. What a waste of a great performance by Kyra Sedgwick.

Feel good ending after a couple of rich brats finally go through a rough patch as adults. Excellent locations & props - and a quality cast that knows how to deliver a line all wrapped up in a Goldie Hawn production.

It's an affair to remember when the aftermath was exaggerated and created pathos along the way. But the light side of that is the nice performances of the cast to make things resolved towards the smart-moved outcome after some surprising moments with warmth. (B+) (Full review coming soon)

Sheila Johnston

Independent (UK)

Contains the occasional barb -- mainly from Kyra Sedgwick, who steals the film as Roberts' tart-tongued sister. But Roberts herself is a drip, and it's a dull story.

Derek Malcolm

Guardian

The film, though not unentertaining, keeps on backtracking, sentimentalising and not quite getting to grips with its subject matter.

David Ansen

Newsweek

The humanity is spread around with a quirky, generous hand, reason enough to distinguish this quiet, low-tech comedy in a season of big-bang juvenilia.

Birmingham Post

Unfortunately, with the exception of Sedgwick's spirited monopoly on one-liners, all this happens not only with unrelating meandering mundanity and a drab performance from Roberts, but also with the addition of a [pointless] subplot.

You'll be talking about this film all right when you come out -- about how numbingly dreadful it is.

Rated: 0/4

Quentin Falk

Sunday Mirror (UK)

[Julia Roberts and Gena Rowlands] are treated disgracefully by the men in their lives, yet they still seem curiously forgiving. Mind you, it is set in the Deep South, which always appears stuck in a time warp.

Rated: 2/5
