Adrien Brody stars in Dummy, as an unemployed 30 year old who lives with his parents and sister played by Illeana Douglas. Brody's character decides he wants to be a ventriloquist and sees an uneployment counselor about getting a job. He falls in love with her, and with the help of his best friend, Milla Jovovich (a punk rocker) he tries to win her heart. Good movie with an excellent cast.

MCT:April 4, 2008Actually a surprising sweet film. A little twisted, it's hard to think that there would be a possibility to be a family as dysfunction as this one. A mother that is supportive but ?really not? supportive, in fact condescending. But she kept the family fed (oh lord, did she). A father that was so involved in battleships & battleship model making that didn?t have time to be involved in the family. A adult live in daughter that seemed against everyone but struggling to get close to someone & find her niche. A son that that needed a wooden dummy (a fascination he had all his life) to break out of his introverted nature. And a grandmother that never speaks but she seems to do a wondrous non-verbal communication to people in the family that keeps them still centered. Add in a platonic girlfriend (of the son) that even though does things a little abrasively & offensive, she does it with the best intention and out of sear sweetness. And finally, a single mom (employment counselor) that somehow finds the sweet nature & sincere qualities of the son with the ventriloquist dummy and helps him find himself & a sweet relationship. It was quite entertaining and worth a watch. I recommend it!

Far better than the plot synopsis would have you believe. Brody does all of his owen ventriloquisim in the movie, not to mention a great job acting as two very distinct characters. The rest of the cast is more than adequate (jovovich surprised me) There isn't anything I dislike about this movie.

Amusing indie film about an awkward ventriloquist played to perfection by Adrien Brody. Also to the film's advantage is it's colorful cast of dysfunctional characters.

MCT:January 19, 2008This is without a doubt the funniest movie I've ever watched. It sounds like a scary movie or something stupid like where they make fun of some idiot but it really isn't.
