Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
This well-intentioned but strangely cold tale concerns an emotionally repressed Southern belle (Julia Roberts) who separates from her husband (Dennis Quaid) after discovering he is an unabashed philanderer. Pressed by her dominating father (Robert Duvall) into reconciling with her spouse, Roberts's character chafes against so much male control over her destiny. Defended by a fiercely independent sister (a catchy performance by Kyra Sedgwick), the heroine develops the nerve to plot her own course in life while her mother (Gena Rowlands) finds the gumption to throw her own mate out of the house. The script by Callie Khouri (Thelma & Louise) is intelligent but hardly clear, and direction by Lasse Hallström (Once Around) can't keep Khouri's unfocused scenes and uncertain purpose from dissolving like sand castles in the rain. --Tom Keogh

If you love this movie or think the pairing of Julia Roberts and Dennis Quaid (I really do like both of them) sounds like a great movie, you should stop reading right now..

Got the movie for my wife, she loves Julia movies. If you are a Julia Roberts fan this is a must have in your collection
Rating: - A personal favorite
This is a movie I watch over and over. It's still funny and heartwarming no matter how many times I've watched it.
Rating:  - Pretty good.
Something to Talk About starring Julia Roberts and Dennis Quaid is a good chick flick. The two stars are funny and have natural chemistry but the person who really steals every scene is Kyra Sedgwick who plays Robert's meddlesome sister, she's a firecracker in this movie. I like this movie but it's not perfect, some imperfections here and there. If you are fan of Roberts then check this romantic comedy out!
