All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

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!

I really liked this film and there are multiple reasons behind it. First unlike many films where the word Republican = Evil, and Democrats = Saints this film has both Senatorial candidates as being corrupt, which is fair. Next Keaton & Davis have real chemistry together, and are both on the same level (Which is rare these days. Usually it is one is rich and the other is poor, one is smart and the other is dumb, or something like that). It is also funny, (Spoiler ahead: The part when they find out what the other does for a living at the school (And the reaction of the teacher and kids) is worth watching in and of itself). Finally, this is not a "chick flick" which in 99% of cases, is an absolute turn-off from the get go. It is mostly told from Kevin's (Keaton's)point of view, which means that as a straight guy, I could watch it without changing the channel. Frankly, I have seen one too many films with women trying on wedding dresses (Sad to say, these women are not exactly hot to begin with). Is it the best romantic comedy of all-time? No "Blind Date", "Stakeout", "Adventures In Babysitting" & almost anything starring Myrna Loy (Most notably "Libeled Lady & "I Love You Again")are my personal favorites. But it is well worth watching. Highly recommended.

the only reason I saw this was to see SUPERMAN and BATMAN in the same film. apart from that.it sucked. totally lame story totally lame everything. but reeve and keaton gave us a glimpse of what their onscreen presence would have been like in a team up

I was left 'speechless'...with happiness at this film. (I might reveal a little of the plot, so if you don't want to know any thing about what happens go to the last paragraph- this is marked with a *)I thought the idea was quite inventive- speech writers on opposing campaigns find themselves attracted to each other. This premise left a lot of room for comic situations (my favourite is when they are in the school).The cast is great too. Geena Davis and Michael Keaton are captivating as the two leads and they are both really funny, by the end of the film you are really hoping they get together. They are supported by many other able actors, most notably Christopher Reeve.The story and humour never feel forced and the ending is brilliant.*This film has a great cast, great plot and is really entertaining, so go and watch it!
