Plot Summary
Academy Award® nominee Don Cheadle portrays the one and only Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene Jr. in this funny, feel-good and inspiring true story.

Also starring Cedric The Entertainer, Taraji P. Henson, Mike Epps and Martin Sheen, Talk to Me tells the extraordinary story of an outrageous and beloved voice ready to shake up the world in the movie critics are hailing as "fresh and revelatory" (Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times).

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Speaks powerfully to audiences with its potent blend of extraordinary performances and engaging soundtrack.
Rotten: Its dialogue, equal parts uptight honky and jumping jive seems, particularly in the early stretches, to have been generated by a computer.
Fresh: The movie's occasional narrative shortcomings are offset by the performances, which are uniformly fine.
Fresh: Lemmons, her extraordinary cast and gifted crew deliver laughing, crying and plenty of signifying.
Customer Reviews
Don Cheadle FTW!
This movie truly suprised me, the preview dosent really do it justice. A must watch for anybody who likes true stories. Don Cheadle proves once again that he is a top-tier actor.
