Something to Talk About- 1995 (Another movie I don't get tired of watching)

When Marion Dougherty, CSA, chose Julia Roberts and Kyra Sedgwick to be sisters, she knew what she was doing.  If they weren't known actors and I saw them walking together, let's say at the mall, I would probably think they're flesh and blood.  The similarities are just too strong. 

Callie Khouri's love for her family and her versatility help her create beautiful endearing stories that touch the hearts of movie goers and couch potatoes.  

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT is the second best story that she weaved(the best is THELMA AND LOUISE, in my opinion).

If I didn't know better, I would think that Robert Duvall and Gena Rowlands are really husband and wife.

It's a good thing I wasn't the one who cast this film.  I would never imagine pairing Dennis Quaid with Julia Roberts, but Ms. Dougherty saw something that clicked. Their onscreen partnership worked and since I'm watching this movie again and again, I must say, it still works.

Haley Aull, who plays the adorable little Caroline, was so great here that it's so hard to imagine that this movie was her last(she only had two movies).
