Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
An especially painful letdown
Filmcritic.com
The ending is still pat, with lots of reasons for optimism, but Something is not as neatly -- or falsely -- resolved as most Hollywood films.

Washington Post
In [Khouri's] zeal to portray a world full of male scum, she creates a morally mismatched, pandering scenario.

Washington Post
Focuses on the personal renewal of a woman after the break-up of her marriage.

...[The directors'] collaboration gives the film a welcome off-center feeling, a human tempo and pacing that emphasize character whenever possible...

Rating: 2/5 --
A few stray moments of wit mired amidst a low-key and sleep-inducing presentation.

Horrible "romantic comedy." Great message for the ladies: Forgive your cheating husband because that's the best you can do.

Product Description:
Lasse Hallstrom (THE CIDER HOUSE RULES, MY LIFE AS A DOG) directs this romantic comedy in which Julia Roberts plays Grace, a decent but naive southern woman who, happening to drive by her husband, Eddie (Dennis Quaid), one afternoon, is shocked to discover him locked in a passionate embrace, in public, with another woman. She immediately confronts her errant hubby, setting the town gossips' tongues wagging, and moves back in with her wealthy parents, provoking reactions from her imperious dad (Robert Duvall), who believes that a wife's duty is to stand by her man, and her sarcastic sister, Emma Rae (Kyra Sedgwick), who thinks that the bum got what he deserved. Soon Grace has caused a town scandal by openly questioning anyone who may have had an affair with Eddie and also starts to unearth problems in her parents' relationship. The film is ultimately a story about women who attempt reconciliation with their cheating spouses by exploring a new set of rules on their own terms. The screenplay is by Callie Khouri, the Academy Award- winning screenwriter of THELMA AND LOUISE.
