Critics Consensus: Small-town gossip and a battle of the sexes should really add up to more than Something to Talk About, especially with this much talent before the camera.

Reviews

Independent (UK)

Sheila Johnston

Contains the occasional barb -- mainly from Kyra Sedgwick, who steals the film as Roberts' tart-tongued sister. But Roberts herself is a drip, and it's a dull story.

The film, though not unentertaining, keeps on backtracking, sentimentalising and not quite getting to grips with its subject matter.

Unfortunately, with the exception of Sedgwick's spirited monopoly on one-liners, all this happens not only with unrelating meandering mundanity and a drab performance from Roberts, but also with the addition of a [pointless] subplot.

You'll be talking about this film all right when you come out -- about how numbingly dreadful it is.

[Julia Roberts and Gena Rowlands] are treated disgracefully by the men in their lives, yet they still seem curiously forgiving. Mind you, it is set in the Deep South, which always appears stuck in a time warp.
