Romance
4 stars
I'm having trouble with this movie. I thought it would be
more about teaching deaf kids to speak, with maybe a subplot of romance. Uh,
no. It's a love story with a subplot about teaching deaf kids to speak. This
movie is very well acted (which is why it gets 4 stars), it's just not my cup
of tea. As to the movie proper, the kids in the deaf school who spoke didn't
sound, to me, like deaf kids. If you like romance with a bit of sex (germane to
the story) this is probably a good movie. William Hurt is, well, mighty easy on
the eyes. If you don't like romance, even with comedy tossed in, pass on this
one.
