Speechless (1994)

Two political speechwriters fall in love before they find out they are working for candidates on opposite sides. Speechless unites for the first time actors Michael Keaton (Batman) and Christopher Reeve (Superman) and that scene alone is worth everything. Then good old Geena Davis has to pick one Keaton or Reeve? Batman or Superman? But anyhow let's leave the hero stuff aside this film is quite charming and the 2 main leads have a very good chemistry and also Reeve although his part is small he is also pretty good. The jokes do land for the most part and the best part of the movie is definitely when Keaton is drunk and Davis tries to wake him up in order to write a script. It has a simple premise and a simple plot but the good thing about 'Speechless' is it's Cast it has a great Cast and i found it a pretty damn good movie personally and i would definitely recommend you to watch it and just be open minded a little bit.

SpeechlessBeing a speechwriter must be very erotic, since you have to imagine your audience not wearing any clothes.However, the only people that the speechwriters in this romantic-comedy want to see nude are each other.Two insomniac writers, Kevin (Michael Keaton) and Julia (Geena Davis), form a sexual relationship during sleepless nights at an all-night diner.Solidifying their relationship based on the knowledge that each other is in the writing profession, both are later stunned when they find out that they are being pitted against each other on either side of a heated political battle.Matters are made worse when Julia's old flame, a hotshot war correspondent (Christopher Reeve), returns.A sharply written love story that encompasses two strange bedfellows, Speechless delivers both bipartisan belly laughs and relevant musings on working relationships.And while dating a rival speechwriter sounds hot, flirting through the elderly male candidates could get awkward.

This movie STILL remains my favorite romance film of all time! The yearning; the indecision; the misunderstanding; the confusion; the thrill of having to keep their encounters undercover; the fact they both landed at the same love song (No Se Tu); the "prove it" test Julia gives Kevin; and BEST of all, the SENSE-OF-HUMOR unites all the elements for a PERFECT LOVE story. I truly appreciated the character of Julia because she wasn't your typical woman rescued by a "rich-guy" as most romance movies have it. And how can one not melt for Kevin's vulnerable openness and the fact he was not intimidated by Julia's success but rather appreciated her for it. All my friends can have their "Pride and Prejudice", but I know better than to under-estimate the melting power of a funny guy. I should know, I married one--still chuckling 27 years and counting.

I gotta admit, when I first saw this film, I didn't like it. I had a chance to watch again (being a BIG Michael Keaton fan), and hey, it's really good. Geena Davis, another wonderful actor, and Keaton, play off one another so well. And it's fun to think back on "Beetlejuice". She and Keaton again. And to watch Christopher Reeves makes one realize how we've lost such a great actor and human being. Watch for the early car scene when they've returned to the hotel early in the morning. It's a hoot. I also loved Charles Martin Smith; he's just good in everything. Remember him? He was the goofy guy in "American Graffiti". Yes, this movie has some corny laughs, but the majority are very funny and Keaton/Davis really connect; they are very believable. Don't miss the scene where Keaton and Reeves are talking around the pool table; that's also a gem. Enjoy this one; it'll make you laugh when you need a laugh.
