This is the true story of Petey Green, an ex con who became a DJ in Washington DC. Don Cheadle plays Petey, a wise cracking, politcally incorrect DJ at a small AM station in the 60's. Times were different then. We were in the midst of the Viet Nam war, black power was a brand new slogan, women's lib was just starting up. The story centers around Cheadle's ,(Petey) release from prison, conning his way into a job at the radio station, the successes and failures he had, and the relationships with station management. This is not an action flick, but it's a terrific movie. Great cast, super acting, hilarious scenes, tear jerking scenes, love scenes, fight scenes - this movie's got it all. IMO it's a must see. I give it 9.5 stars out of 10.
