Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

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..... ...

Walk Hard loves its characters....resent Kasdan and Apatow trying to shove their big, long Cox down audiences' throats....Walk Hard excels....enjoy laughter, joy, great music....Like "Let's Duet" Walk Hard is blessed with a fundamental sweetness and a loving attention to detail..... ...

Now it's finally time for the legend of all legends to be officially recognized for his greatness with a film all about him.....Even at a full grown 14 years old with 12-year-old wife Edith, Dewey Cox was still struggling to make his masterpiece.... ... Full Review

A spoof of musical bio-pics, what the comedy geniuses get is that with any great spoof movie (see AIRPLANE!

Of course there's a silver lining to be found in Walk Hard 's box-office demise.....it's still an unabashedly fun comedy.....Along the way, director Jake Kasdan makes sure to riff on every possible music biopic cliché that's ever existed:....Reilly is surrounded by an extraordinary supporting cast....Some jokes fall flat, a bit of momentum is lost just before the '70s period kicks in.... ...

I can't say that the extra 24 minutes makes the film stronger, but it also doesn't make it less successful. A guitar player, Reilly really relishes (say that three times fast) the musical numbers, and does a commendable job. ... Full Review

John C Reilly looks like he's never enjoyed himself so much on a movie. John C Reilly, a best supporting actor Oscar nominee for playing Amos Hart in Chicago (2002), bravely goes down the spoof root perviously taken by the terminally unfunny Epic and Date Movies. ... Full Review

If you find all this funny, you'll enjoy Walk Hard.....written by him and the usually excellent Judd Apatow .....But it is Reilly himself who gives easily the best performance.....He even wrote some of the catchy songs Cox performs as he progresses through various musical styles -.... ...
