Amazon.co.uk Review
In the screwball comedy Speechless, Michael Keaton and Geena Davis are political speechwriters with bad cases of insomnia who meet, fall in love, and then discover that they are working for opposing candidates. The subsequent short-lived war of dirty tricks and one-upmanship is one of those contrivances that is soon (and thankfully) discarded in light of their instant rapport and mutual respect. In a world where candidates are for sale and campaigns are fought like poker games, these idealists are made for each other--they just don't know it yet. Director Ron Underwood (City Slickers) has a light touch with comedy and a nice feel for romantic fun, but it's the charm of Keaton and Davis that puts the bounce in an otherwise limp political satire. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews

Politically Light
This movie is not heavy on political humor, but it is a fun one to watch. I have enjoyed this comedy many times for its light-hearted banter between a man and a woman.

Speechless - Not quite
A very good fun film with a great cast, full of laughs, wouldn't win any oscars but who cares, just enjoy, worth watching.
