Utterly devoid of subtlety and grace, Speechless is a desperate, thrown-together hodgepodge that tries to glide by on the supposedly surefire chemistry of the pairing of Davis and Keaton. Full Review |

The rivalry never sparks, the pace flags and it seems pointless to enter donkeys in a race designed for thoroughbreds. Full Review |

|
|
Never achieves the madcap hilarity of the '40s romantic comedies it seeks to emulate, and some of the dramatic moments feel a bit forced. Full Review |

Mugging to an unfunny script, Keaton and Davis are no Tracy and Hepburn, and the funereal pace doesn't help. Full Review |

This 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. Full Review |

It comes down to the charms of Keaton and Davis in the end. You like these characters and root for them to score. Full Review |

Ron Underwood, the director of City Slickers, once again compromises appealing actors and an entertaining premise with a needless overlay of mush. Full Review |

The movie starts slow but has two or three good laughs. After that it is downhill all the way. Full Review |

There’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. Full Review |
