Speechless - BluRay [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).

When their parents leave for the weekend, siblings Cassie and Max wage a petty war over the house until an accidental discovery of their father's S*x tapes turns their messy rivalry into something that could actually break their family apart.

In a mysterious and surreal interzone somewhere between Tehran and Winnipeg, the lives of multiple characters interweave with each other in surprising and mysterious ways.

Meanwhile, Massoud leads a group of increasingly-befuddled tourists through the monuments and historic sites of Winnipeg. Matthew quits his meaningless job in a Québecois government office and sets out upon an enigmatic journey to visit his mother. Space, time and personal identities crossfade, interweave and echo into a surreal comedy of misdirection.
