Popular DJ Portrayed in "Talk to Me"

At his website, Roger Ebert gives "Talk to Me" 3 1/2 stars. Ebert writes, "The story of Petey Greene was a movie waiting to be made. Greene came out of prison to become, literally overnight, a popular and influential DJ. He was on WOL, a Washington, D.C., station that was looking for a morning man to connect with its African-American audience and got more than it bargained for."

"Talk to Me" stars Don Cheadle as Peter Green, Cedric the Entertainer as fellow DJ, "Nighthawk", and Martin Sheen as WOL's owner, Sonderling.
