Dumbstruck
Dumbstruck is the humorous and heartfelt story of five ventriloquists who are quirky enough to star in Christopher Guest film. But they are real, and their stories are deeply human and universal.
Dylan, a shy 13-year-old who dreams of being a professional but whose dad prefers football; Kim, a former Miss Ohio beauty queen, who yearns to 'make it' on the cruise ship circuit; Dan, a successful cruise ship performer whose wife may divorce him when he comes ashore; Terry, who, after 22 years of struggle in Corsicana, Texas, finds himself winning NBC's America's Got Talent and landing a $100,000,000 deal in Las Vegas; and Wilma -- all six-foot-five of her -- who brings her dummies to Walmart and 'entertains' in senior homes.
The film follows them across the United States, the Mexican Riviera, Bahamas and Japan. It is filled with music, laughter and a roller coaster of emotions, riding through life as a ventriloquist.
