Product Description:
Academy Award®-winner Adrien Brody stars in this delightful romantic comedy as a lovable loser who finds his inner voice by becoming a ventriloquist. Steven Schoichet (Brody) is in a rut - he lives at home with his crazed parents and weird sister Heidi (Illeana Douglas) and is stuck in a dead-end job. His life begins to turn around when at the urging of his outrageous friend Fangora (Milla Jovovich) he decides to follow his dream of becoming a ventriloquist. He buys a dummy and hits the small-time comedy circuit to the horror of his family and the delight of his beautiful job councilor Lorena (Vera Farmiga). Lorena quickly becomes his biggest fan and his first love. This hysterical romantic comedy proves the dumbest thing you can do is not to follow your dream.

Oscar®-winner Adrien Brody has a nifty role in Dummy as a shy loser whose life is transformed by... ventriloquism. Living with his parents and his caustic sister (Illeana Douglas in good form), tongue-tied Steven can't hold a conversation to save his life--until he sits a wooden dummy on his knee. Others find this kind of creepy, but Steven parlays his newfound voice into a date with his pretty lady at the unemployment office (she's played by Vera Farmiga, from 15 Minutes, a soulful actress destined for big things). Writer-director Greg Pritikin doesn't oversell this modest premise, instead nicely filling in the corners with sly comedy and character bits. Milla Jovovich plays Steven's punk-rock buddy, and Jessica Walter and Ron Leibman are his parents--it's a surprisingly strong cast for an indie effort. Dummy won a release when Brody got the Oscar for The Pianist, but this is a worthy and entertaining picture all on its own. --Robert Horton

Adrian Brody is a good actor, but he isn't given much to work with here. A lot of forced quirkiness in this movie. Very bizarre equivalence worked out between Brody's character and his dummy, and his love interest with her child. Weird. Milo Janovich is probably an acquired taste but you kind of seek a pillow to bury your head in during her scenes. Can't really recommend it.

I just bought the movie from a former rental for $4.99. What a loving movie! Adrien Brody make a loving act as Steven, a shy wimp with a heart of gold. He lives with his crazed parents and his sour hearted sister Heidi (Ileana Douglas). Steven (Brody) hates his job and his boss reminds me of Meryl Streep in The Devils Wears Prada. So in a impulse, he bought a wooden dummy that becomes his alter ego and his concience. While he learns to talk without moving his lips, Steven is talking to the dummy ... Read More

I really like the actor and see movies that he is in. This is a funny movie with family drama.

Trust me, you'll like it, you really will. "Dummy" is a small comic gem that you've probably never even heard of. I hadn't--until I was fortunate enough to stumble upon the DVD one day. The basic story is about a young man (played to comic perfection by Adrien Brody) who decides to fulfill his dream of becoming a ventriloquist. No, the movie doesn't turn into an Anthony Hopkins' killer dummy fright fest like the film "Magic". Thank God. Instead "Dummy" is a hysterically funny and very touching ... Read More

Very funny film. I laughed very hard along with my parents. There is a lot of Jewish humor in the film so it may not be so funny to those not exposed to it. Four letter words are what makes this film inappropriate for children.
