Meeting each other for the first time in the gift shop of the Las Cruces, New Mexico hotel where they are both staying, there is an undeniable and mutual attraction between Julia Mann and Kevin Vallick, with things they share being their insomnia and both being writers. That attraction may take a turn when they find out at an inopportune time that he is now not the television sitcom writer she believed him to be and she is now not the reporter he believed her to be, but rather they are both speechwriters for opposing candidates for the one open New Mexico senate seat, she writing for Democrat Lloyd Wannamaker, and he writing for Republican Ray Garvin. Beyond issues within their respective campaigns they may have let slip in their pillow talk, they have to decide if love and politics can mix. Their situation is further complicated by: Julia's ex-fiancé, war correspondent Robert Freed - nicknamed Baghdad Bob - trying to win her back, she who broke up with him believing he wanted a cheering section more than a wife; Kevin's unique relationship with cutthroat Annette, who hired him to work on Garvin's campaign; some not so little political impropriety which the other side would love to use to smear their opponent; and a few misunderstandings about the balance between their professional and personal lives.
Leave your thoughts about Speechless.
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksThis is intelligent romantic comedy of the kind we get all too seldom these days, and the plot is something Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn would have loved in their prime. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonThe movie's a campaign disaster from the get-go, and no amount of damage control (including MGM's extensive publicity) can hide it. |
| Apollo GuideIan Waldron-MantganiThere's no snappy exchange of one-liners, and certainly not the fire that would come onto the screen if the characters bothered to talk about their political convictions. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe level of humor is dialed safely down to the Sitcom setting, which limits what can happen, and how much we can care about it. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenIt comes down to the charms of Keaton and Davis in the end. You like these characters and root for them to score. |
| Film4Film4 StaffThe rivalry never sparks, the pace flags and it seems pointless to enter donkeys in a race designed for thoroughbreds. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsScott RenshawA limp, poorly structured would-be romantic comedy. |
| VarietyBrian LowryNever achieves the madcap hilarity of the '40s romantic comedies it seeks to emulate, and some of the dramatic moments feel a bit forced. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelThis script needed to be completely overhauled before filming began. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinRon Underwood, the director of City Slickers, once again compromises appealing actors and an entertaining premise with a needless overlay of mush. |
