R,1hr 58min Released: July 27, 2007 Director: Distributor: Focus Features Starring: DVD Review by Sean Axmaker, Special to MSN Movies Don Cheadle is Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene Jr., an ex-convict with a gift of straight-talking gab that lands him a job as a deejay on a Washington, D.C., radio station in the 1960s, and Chiwetel Ejiofor is program director Dewey Hughes, who wrestles with Petey's explosive personality while protecting him from the conservative ownership, in the drama based on the real-life partnership and friendship of these two men over two decades. "Kasi Lemmons' engrossing double biography is a showcase for two fine actors who get a rare chance to strut their versatility," critic John Hartl wrote on MSNBC. "The relationship between the proper Hughes and the irrepressible Greene, which makes neither of them look like a pushover, is the heart of 'Talk to Me' ... Opposites attract, with a vengeance." Lemmons directs and Cedric the Entertainer, Taraji P. Henson, Mike Epps, Vondie Curtis-Hall and Martin Sheen co-star. Includes the featurettes "Who Is Petey Greene?" and "Recreating P-Town," and deleted scenes. Also available on HD DVD | ||||||||||||||
