	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Something to Talk About is the kind of movie where you start out wondering how all of these people are related, and end up knowing all too well (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS

United States	Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"A safe, generic family story of no particular personality"	NEU
