It took me a minute, but I totally love it. By the time I got to 'Speechless' I was hooked. I can't wait for more episodes. It's not going to be for everyone, but I'm all about it. The stories are clever and funny. That's really all I need in a TV show. The music is funny although, musical comedy is not my favorite. I like that they talk about stuff that's not typical "girl" comedy. They poke fun at themselves more than others, which is awesome. Its great to be able to laugh at other people's perceived short comings along with them. The show isn't mean when it does make fun of others because it's what we're all thinking or at the least, they make fun of themselves at the same time.

Comedy?!
8 January 2014
This movie was a lot of things, funny was not one of them. It seems like the writer took all possible stereotypes, wrote individual story lines, and then shuffled them together not paying attention to what would actually work. This movie actually would have worked better as a drama. No part of it was even remotely funny, let ALONE hilarious (as one reviewer suggested). I would never categorize this movie as a comedy. The "jokes" (I didn't even notice any?) should have been deleted and they should have just done it as a heartfelt love story (which would have worked). Some stories took forever to get going and then played out in 2 seconds. Others were just incredibly unbelievable. I frequently found myself doing a face palm at how embarrassed I was for the people involved. I can't even say this was a good effort. It felt like no one actually read the script or watched it after editing to see how it all came together. I hope this was a first effort and her films have learned from this one's mistakes.

This movie is awful.
It feels like every cliché about lesbians was smashed into this movie so it could be the most lesbian of all the lesbian movies. They didn't even do that well. Familial drama was added (poorly) to give the movie "depth." Drama between the couple was introduced, but worked out feebly. None of it works. It feels like they wrote this movie as they shot it. Story lines don't add up and you end up more confused with each scene. The acting, writing, and camera work are all mediocre, but somehow that didn't even add up to a mediocre film.
Unless you sole intention is to make fun of a movie, I do NOT suggest wasting any time on this.
