Reviews for Dummy
Pritikin may be asking his audience to pay attention and embrace small successes, but with Dummy, he has pulled off a great one.

Top CriticIt's a sweetly sad and sadly funny tale, conceived with quirky sensitivity, but, though its actors are adept, it only just hangs together, like a sitcom still in rehearsal stages.

Trazendo ótimas atuações de Farmiga, Jovovich (no melhor desempenho de sua carreira) e especialmente de Adrien Brody, o filme diverte e encanta, sendo sempre surpreendente.

Surprisingly endearing in moments thanks to finely tuned comic performances, especially from Brody.

'Some people can say a lot without moving their lips' is the perfect tagline for this delightful comedy.

The result is the kind of oddball independent film that's almost a parody of the genre.

Top Critic[T]he best ventriloquist -stalker -family-drama -romantic -comedy I've seen in, well maybe forever.

Yes, I'm sounding like Joel Siegel here, but I simply loved this film. It's quite honestly a great time from end to end. I honestly can't think of a negative in the entire thing, and my therapist will tell you I'm a pretty negative guy.

So endearing and comedically 'real' are these characters that you'll want to stop the film, climb onscreen and give everyone a big hug.

Pritikin ... serves up the sort of shrill 'satire' of middle-class Jewish vulgarity in which the mere mention of words like 'brisket' and 'klezmer' is automatically presumed to be hilarious.

Dummy might have been a better movie if Greg Pritikin had done a few more rewrites on his script, and if he'd had more than a few weeks in which to shoot it.
09/13/03
An ultimate crowd-pleaser.
03/21/03
naïve sincerity gives Dummy a strong tenderness, one completely anchored by Brody's daring and dedicated performance.
05/03/03
Has many of the qualities comedy movie fans have been missing in cinema today: charm, wit, romance and winning performances across the board.
09/06/03
Definitely lives down to its name -- you can see the lips moving on this wooden thing.
