Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

NINJA2345 This Film was wonderfully put together with clips of both current and some of the pioneers of ventriloquists along with the history of "venting". It also did a great job showing us how these talented people actually pull off the impossible art they have perfected. The film kept me interested from start to finish, and has escalated my interest in ventriloquism. The people behind this film should be recognized for their great job in truly showing what ventriloquism is really about. Fans of "venting" must check this film out for a true "behind the scenes look" at what I consider a art that most of us know nothing about. Thanks and job well done.

kimberlymlawson I think this film was great, it was very educational about ventriloquism and the talented people behind the puppets. Although it was educational it was also full of clips from "vents" and some great insights from some talented comedians. I was really glad Jeff Dunham was in this documentary I think it made it all worthwhile. Venting is definitely something that some people take for granted or are not really educated about and this really gave a different perspective on some great talent.I first thought that this would be more clips and stand up materials but was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was much more than that! It's going to be interesting to see how Venting pans out in the future considering acts like Jeff Dunham are getting enormously huge. I'm definitely going to keep my eye out for other Ventriloquists, I find them very interesting and entertaining.

kazmineli Kudos to SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival) for programming the World Premiere of I'm No Dummy. I'm sure there are those that would say "Why a doc on ventriloquism?" I say, "Why did it take so long?" This smart, insightful and very funny documentary is carefully crafted to allow us to discover there is so much more to this misunderstood art and those that practice it. Tony Award winner and star of TV sitcom Soap, Jay Johnson steals the film with his intellectual comedy and flawless technique. Lynn Trefzger and her family friendly puppets are just delightful and Comedy Central star Jeff Dunham believe it or not fills huge auditoriums. Building on the work of those before them, such as Jimmy Nelson, Senor Wences and Paul Winchell, these modern "vents" have reinvented and reinvigorated this much maligned act. As an avid doc watcher it was refreshing to see an intelligent and fun documentary that had real depth. A wonderful doc where the "vents" vent about their work.

healinhandzman Who knew? I didn't. These people are geniuses.Prior to seeing this film I, probably like most people, thought that ventriloquism (now called "venting") was just a person with a puppet making silly voices. This documentary does a great job of not only giving a modern history of ventriloquism but also in giving an appreciation for the diverse talents possessed by these amazing performers who are, at once, entertainers, puppeteers, comedians, actors, and writers; and, have developed the unique skill of being able to "throw" their voice. And the film is hilarious to boot."I'm No Dummy" contains entertaining clips of many of the venting greats of the past, such as Senor Wences, Paul Winchell, and Jimmy Nelson, but also many uproarious clips of modern masters Lynn Trefzger, Jay Johnson, and Jeff Dunham, among others, in performance and whom also add their commentary on the technique and the art form.Yes, I said "art form." After seeing this film I have truly developed an appreciation for the art form that is ventriloquism.
