Speechless on Blu-ray

Can speechwriters on opposite sides of the political fence find love and happiness in the heat of an election season? This is the comic premise of Speechless, starring Michael Keaton (Birdman) and Geena Davis (Thelma and Louise) as Kevin Vallick and Julia Mann Republican and Democratic speechwriters (respectively) and romantic sparring partners. Add to the mix Kevin's ex-wife (Bonnie Bedalia, Die Hard) and Julia's self-absorbed former fiance (Christopher Reeve, Superman) and the stage is set for screwball comic hijinks in the tradition of His Girl Friday and the political savvy of TV's The Good Wife. Speechless, directed by Ron Underwood (City Slickers) from a screenplay by Robert King (TV's The Good Wife) co-stars Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters) and Charles Martin Smith (The Untouchables).
