Описание:

Meet Edie Griszbowski and Mister Linguini, two highly unusual people whose lives converge. In the zany, warm world of Linguini, Edie struggles to master the art of ventriloquism. After weeks of trying unsuccessfully to throw her voice into her cat Leopold, Edie gives up, and takes a job as a part-time clerk at the Queens County Coroner's Office. Her unique ways of honoring dead people led to her meteoric rise in office responsibilities.

She meets Mister Linguini when the two collide in the office hallway. Looking up from her position on the floor, Edie can't help but notice that the giggling little man lying on top of her has the very qualities she's always admired in men: he's hairless, the lobes of his ears are soft and large, and he's almost as round as he is tall. It will be awhile before she learns about his finest attribute, the glorious tongue after which he gets his name, Linguini.

The courtship, marriage, and wedding celebration unfold among pranks, wild mishaps, love, and laughter. In the world of Linguini, the unusual is right. And the very unusual, like the large, beautiful tongue that Linguini keeps rolled up and tucked neatly behind his tongue, is even more right. Experience the twists and turns of a romance that rocked the Borough of Queens, one that people talk about to this very day.
