Michael Keaton and Geena Davis are "a winning ticket" (Joel Siegel, "Good Morning America") in this captivating romantic comedy that proves conclusively that opposites do attract - and then some. "Smart, sexy and side-splittingly funny" (Mike McKay, WBTV-CBS), Speechless is the word for great entertainment.
It was a match made in heaven almost. Two witty, intelligent insomniacs, Kevin (Keaton) and Julia (Davis), meet over the last box of sleeping pills at an all-night convenience store andiare immediately attracted. They share an evening of passion and romance and discover that they have a lot in common maybe too much. When they learn that they're both speechwriters - but for opposing political campaigns - the sweethearts quickly move from speechless to ruthless and drop the pillow talk for serious verbal jabbing. But the more they stab each other in the back and insult each other directly, the more they realize that true love doesn't always fall along party lines.
Editor's Note
Speechwriters for opposing political candidates fall in love with each other on the campaign trail in this formulaic romantic comedy.
