In the midst of election season in New Mexico, political speech writers Julia Mann (Geena Davis), a Democrat, and Kevin Vallick (Michael Keaton), a Republican, begin a romance. At first they're each unaware of each other's profession, but when they realize they're working for rival candidates, they try to make the relationship work anyway. However, the couple's lives are complicated when Julia's ex, a self-absorbed TV reporter named Bob Freed (Christopher Reeve), arrives in town.

Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune This script needed to be completely overhauled before filming began. Rated: 1/4 Aug 23, 2017 Full Review Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: C+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety Never achieves the madcap hilarity of the '40s romantic comedies it seeks to emulate, and some of the dramatic moments feel a bit forced. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Mal Vincent The Virginian-Pilot Speechless is an opportunity missed. When we think of the possibilities this situation provides, it is sad that the moviemakers took the low road. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 1, 2022 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a far-from-innovative yet certainly workable premise that's employed to mostly lifeless effect... Rated: 2/4 Jan 22, 2020 Full Review TV Guide 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.

Gabriel A Gosto do filme. No entanto, algumas sequências são tediosas. A atuação das 3 grandes estrelas desse filme são legais, o que torna interessante de assistir. Principalmente, o fato de ter Michael Keaton (Batman) e Christopher Reeve (Superman) é o que atrai muito mais para assistir do que a própria trama em si, mas vale a pena ver esses dois grandes atores juntos. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Stéphane O We tried to watch this twice, but were unable to finish it. Boring. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/18/24 Full Review steve d The script lets its great stars down. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review ashley h Speechless is a boring film. It is about two political speechwriters who fall in love before they find out they are working for candidates on opposite sides. Michael Keaton and Geena Davis give terrible performances. The script is badly written. Ron Underwood did a terrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Rival speechwriters fall in love in this dull comedy. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I could done better but I love the plot. Have watched a lot of times. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
