Reviews for Speechless
The movie's a campaign disaster from the get-go, and no amount of damage control (including MGM's extensive publicity) can hide it.
Speechless is overplotted and underwritten. Every situation is straight out of stock, with no room for variation or originality.
Director Ron Underwood demonstrated a knack for comedy in City Slickers, but when it comes to love scenes ... Keaton and Davis might as well be stampeding cows.
The level of humor is dialed safely down to the Sitcom setting, which limits what can happen, and how much we can care about it.
