Dummy (2002) starring Adrien Brody. Brody plays a slacker whose ambition is to be a ventriloquist. He even buys a creepy ventriloquist's doll and starts practicing. The movie pursues an offbeat course with a variety of interesting characters. But the potential for drama or comedy involving Brody and the dummy is never fully realized, and the film becomes basically a simple, not very believable love story. One suspects that this movie was released mostly on the strength of Brody's Oscar win for "The Piano."
Grade: B-
