This flick spoofs so many things, it becomes overwhelming. The saving grace is some hilarious dialogue. Catch the skanky lyrics in the duet that Dewey and his new female singer provide. Title: "Let's Duet" (pronounced "do it!"). I like how the... Full review

Walk Hard is one of the best musicals I have ever seen. I had no idea how good John C. Reilly could sing. I am surprised that the people gave it a C+ and the critics gave it a solid B.... Full review

I wasn't really expecting much as the previews didn't do it for me, but this movie, even though over the top for the most part, is pretty funny. It has some classic laugh out loud moments and just when it's getting... Full review

Walk Hard is a stupid comedy. What this movie is, a mock to the Walk The Line movie. Every joke from struggling musician to getting high with the Beatles is here. John C Orielly is pretty funny as Dewey Cox, with... Full review

I thought this was another good Judd Apatow comedy, despite the fact that it didn't do that good at the box office because of its bad time of release. The only part I didn't like is in the hotel room them... Full review

This wasn't over the top hilarious, but it was quite funny, and a really good idea. There are almost constant jokes, so much like a Naked Gun, even if one misses, some other one will score a hit with you.... Full review

John C. Reily is a fine actor and has displayed a knack for comic parody, and he does a nice job of carrying Dewey Cox. Leave it to Apatow to find the comedic possibilities in Coal Miner's Daughter and Walk the... Full review

The best thing about this film was the music.....The casting of Jack Black, Justin Long, Paul Rudd and Jason Schwartzman as the Beatles was not a good move either.....This film is a non-stop train of laughs, with a great soundtrack.....The music carried the film through some of its less funny moments..... ...
