Steven (Adrien Brody), a socially inept oddball who struggles to express himself, learns to communicate with the world through his dummy and the art of ventriloquism in this quirky comedy from writer-director Greg Pritikin. Cast against type, supermodel Milla Jovovich also stars as Steven's gauche best friend, Fangora, an aspiring Yiddish punk-folk singer, while Illeana Douglas, Jessica Walter and Ron Leibman portray Steven's exasperating family.
