See That.....Cuz I Said So!!!!

You MUST see Talk To Me! This is just an all around fantastic film about the legendary (altho I didn't know who the hell he was until I saw the movie) Petey Greene. So who is Petey Greene aka Don Cheadle? Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene is a man after my own heart...he'll tell you what he thinks and gives two shits whether you like it or not. Petey, who is in jail when we first meet him and the jail house radio DJ, manages to con his way out of jail and MAKES Dewey Hughes (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) give him a job as a DJ at WOL-AM in Washington, D.C. So who is Dewey? Dewey is the brother of an inmate (played by the too cute Mike Epps...Heeeeyyyyy booo!) and the programming director at WOL. Long story short, Petey comes to WOL fearless and with a swagger that was unheard of and turns shit around. He is the voice of the community and says what everyone else wishes they could say...especially during the racially tense time during the 60's. Petey eventually becomes more than a radio DJ...he is a stand up comic and host of his own show. He does everything from getting his community through the assassination of Martin Luther King to going on The Tonight Show only to tell the white audience to kiss his ass. Gotta love him! D.C. loved Petey Greene despite and in spite of his flaws. He also is loved by his girlfriend for forever, Vernell (played by Taraji P. Henson) and she too has to deal with him Flaws and All (cue Yonce). Don, Chiwetel and Taraji play the hell out of their roles. The movie provides everything you would want from a movie...excellent acting, an interesting story, humor, sentiment, and a feeling like watching that movie just taught you something. The fashion in the movie was also fabulous and you can read all about that from Elle. You know you don't have shit else to do. Go and SUPPORT this movie. Why? If for no other reason....cuz I said so bitches!!!!
