DUMBSTRUCK keeps a handful of emotional tricks up its sleeve, even as it confirms the tough truths we may have suspected about ventriloquists -- that they're lonely, unstable, shy and socially challenged people who need the help of an artificial friend if they're ever going to learn to stand up for themselves.
