Member Rating:  
The feminist outrage of Thelma & Louise (1991) screenwriter Callie Khouri blended superbly with director Lasse Hallstrom's predilection for stories about idiosyncratic families in this effective comedy-drama. Julia Roberts stars as Grace King Bichon, a prim small-town wife who is incensed when she learns that her husband Eddie Bichon (Dennis Quaid) is having an affair, and that it's not his first dalliance. Grace embarrasses her husband publicly -- then moves in with her wise-mouthed little sister Emma Rae (the scene-stealing Kyra Sedgwick). Grace becomes even angrier when her mother Georgia (Gena Rowlands) and wealthy father, horse breeder Wyly King (Robert Duvall), side with Eddie in the conflict, fearing the small-town gossip that's sure to swirl around their daughter's marital woes. However, when Georgia finds that Wyly has been a long-term philanderer as well, she kicks him out of his palatial home, embroiling the entire King family in a war between the sexes. Something to Talk About went through several title changes, variously being named "Game of Love" and "Grace Under Pressure" before producers settled on the title of the popular Bonnie Raitt song. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

I enjoyed this movie so much that I watched it twice before returning it and then went and bought it! The acting is fantastic! The story is fantastic! And if you like horses, you will love the jumping and training. Yep! This is a must see and a keeper!

This was an all around great movie. Your typical "chick flick," yet funny for a boyfriend or husband.

This is one of my all time favorite movies. The actors are wonderful, and having grown up in the South, hearing the women debate proper courses of action when boys will be boys had me rolling....I loved it when Grace just lays it on the table at the women's meeting! I also love how the two main characters realize that they have lost themselves in this ongoing crisis called life, and how they try to regain their dreams.

I kept wondering why this movie was made. The story is predictable and the characters are too. I guess it was a star vehicle for Julia Roberts as she was very big at the time it was made. The performances were fine. There was nothing outstanding or memorable - just mediocre and predictable.
