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.

1/4
This script needed to be completely overhauled before filming began. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 03/26/2009
Never achieves the madcap hilarity of the '40s romantic comedies it seeks to emulate, and some of the dramatic moments feel a bit forced. Go to Full Review Derek Adams Time Out 06/24/2006
Mugging to an unfunny script, Keaton and Davis are no Tracy and Hepburn, and the funereal pace doesn't help. Go to Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Jan 6

The laughs in Speechless may feel like it is few and far between but when the comedy works on screen, it really works. Go to Full Review Mal Vincent The Virginian-Pilot 03/01/2022

Speechless is an opportunity missed. When we think of the possibilities this situation provides, it is sad that the moviemakers took the low road. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 01/22/2020

...a far-from-innovative yet certainly workable premise that's employed to mostly lifeless effect... Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gabriel A 10/15/2024 Gosto do filme. No entanto, algumas sequências são tediosas. A atuação das 3 grandes estrelas desse filme são legais, o que torna a dinâmica relativamente bacana. No entanto, 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 assistir, apenas para ver esses dois grandes atores juntos.

See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 12/01/2019 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. See more 04/26/2016 Rival speechwriters fall in love in this dull comedy. See more 07/03/2015 I could done better but I love the plot. Have watched a lot of times. See more Read all reviews
