Overview
An ex-office worker becomes a ventriloquist, leading to a date with his unemployment counselor; but his quirky family and a gauche female friend may thwart his new career and love life.
The film works best when the dummy is used as a device to show the main character’s inner disgust with himself. Unfortunately these moments are few and far between and the rest of the movie is rather mediocre. Also, I don’t think Illeana Douglas should try to cry on-screen again. Yikes!
