Waste of time

One of my all time favorites.

Good movie but grossly overrated

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Seriously, this is not the best movie of Michael Keaton's and Geena Davis' acting career. This is like watching two goofballs who just want to mess around like little children and fall hopelessly in love with each other. That really ain't a story, its pretty much a Disney movie gone wrong. I wish I didn't have to speak more about this because, its just plain awful and you know, the title says it all. Thats why its called Speechless, it completely wastes your time by becoming"Speechless". I think this is one of the worst movies of the year I was born. I beg you to avoid this!

Kevin Vallick (Michael Keaton) and Julia Mann (Geena Davis) are two speech writers working for opposing sides in a campaign. Of course they fall for each other immediately over sleeping pills, but end up in a love hate relationship.The two leads have great chemistry together. They make for a fun competitive couple. If there's anything missing, it's an edge. There's nothing in particular wrong with a light-hearted, light-weight rom-com. But the politics is hopelessly naive and out of date. Overall it's a sweet likable watch with some fun exchanges. It's just nothing that exciting.

I thought this movie was really sweet. I actually had watched it right after "Long Kiss Goodnight", which also stars Geena Davis, and this was a complete role reverse. Julia (Geena Davis) is working for Democrat running for President, while Kevin (Michael Keaton) is working for the republican he is up against. Both are speech writers for the candidates. It is cute how they find out because both are asked to speak to a school about their jobs and when they both show up they end up going back and forth in front of everyone about how the other one lied and so on. The ironic thing is, one of the guys Julia is working with says she should run next, and then 12 years later, Geena Davis is President Mackenzie Allen in Commander In Chief!

When now a days the only news one hears are tragic and when going to the movies is basically to see violence and sex, it is always refreshing to see a cute silly movie that allows you to smile and spend an hour and a half without suffering through its plot. This movie, in my opinion, carries a little bit of several styles of comedy: situations that make it funny and the use of lines where you have to interpret what they are saying in order for them to make sense and allow you to smile. This movie is very local, in the sense that you have to be a native English speaking person to really understand many of the intended meanings of the dialogues. Any way it is a well spent 90 minutes of your time to relax a little and follow it through with interest. For Spanish speaking viewers, the background song: NO SE TU makes it very worthwhile to watch/hear.
