Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Talk To Me (2007)

Quick-witted and quick-moving for the first half or so -- I was swept along and enjoying myself immensely. I liked the relationship of the observant and witty ex-con and the buttoned-down radio station executive who takes a chance on him as the new morning disc jockey.

It's only when we get to the second half that things seem to both settle down and stretch thin. The movie starts to grow tiresome in step with Petey Greene's (a stunning Don Cheadle) own annoying self-sabotage.

Still, worth watching for the performances and the entertaining "unconventional star on the rise" story.
