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.

Sheila Johnston Independent (UK) 03/29/2024
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. Go to Full Review Derek Malcolm Guardian 03/29/2024
The film, though not unentertaining, keeps on backtracking, sentimentalising and not quite getting to grips with its subject matter. Go to Full Review David Ansen Newsweek 02/16/2018
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. Go to Full Review Mike Davies Birmingham Post 03/29/2024
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. Go to Full Review Graham Young Birmingham Mail 03/28/2024
0/4
You'll be talking about this film all right when you come out -- about how numbingly dreadful it is. Go to Full Review Quentin Falk Sunday Mirror (UK) 03/28/2024
2/5
[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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mike P 12/11/2024 Bad movie about gossip and affairs in a small town; where the central scene has Julia confronting all the women in the town square about Dennis Quaid; her unfaithful husband... But it's unconvincing and done with lackluster acting. Everyone involved here has done much better than this. If you want to see Julia in a similar soap opera-ish scenario where she's going off on disloyal family members and quashing cruel gossip you should see her in August Osage County which covers a lot of the same territory but it's much better than this. MUCH better! I mean this comes of like some cheap episode of One Life to Live or something by comparison. See more 03/05/2022 Genuinely lovable movie considering its about inferdelity it has fun moments but Julia Roberts is exceptionally good as the woman scorned See more steve d 07/08/2020 you won't even remember it let alone talk about it later. See more 06/12/2020 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. See more 08/08/2016 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. See more 08/15/2014 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.
