Julia Roberts stars as Grace, a woman with a successful career, a beautiful daughter and a happy marriage to her college sweetheart. Overall she thinks that she has the perfect life. That is until she spots her husband enjoying a passionate kiss with another woman and her idyllic existence takes on a whole new outlook. Faced with a fact that she does not want to confront, and the small town mentality that she is part of, she must rock the boat and take the chance to get even. From .co.uk ----------- Something to Talk About is a well-intentioned but strangely cold tale that concerns an emotionally repressed Southern belle (Julia Roberts) who separates from her husband (Dennis Quaid) after discovering he is an unabashed philanderer. Pressed by her dominating her (Robert Duvall) into reconciling with her spouse, Roberts's character chafes against so much male control over her destiny. Defended by a fiercely independent sister (a catchy performance by Kyra Sedgwick), the heroine develops the nerve to plot her own course in life while her mother (Gena Rowlands) finds the gumption to throw her own mate out of the house. The script by Callie Khouri (Thelma & Louise) is intelligent but hardly clear, and direction by Lasse Hallström (Once Around) can't keep Khouri's unfocused scenes and uncertain purpose from dissolving like sand castles in the rain. --Tom Keogh, .com P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Synopsis -------- A woman who appears to have it all; happy marriage, beautiful daughter,successful career, catches her husband passionately kissing another woman.
