About this product

Product Information

Somewhere between pitch-perfect parodies from Christopher Guest and Co. (such as THIS IS SPINAL TAP and A MIGHTY WIND) and slapstick spoofs (such as AIRPLANE and the NAKED GUN) resides the farcical biopic WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY. Taking the critically lauded Johnny Cash biopic WALK THE LINE as its most obvious inspiration, WALK HARD plows its way through every rock star cliché--from drug use and rampant sex to artistic self-indulgence and spiritual redemption--laying waste to all of them with unremitting blasts of brilliantly lowbrow comedy. Written by Judd Apatow and starring Jon C. Reilly in the title role, WALK HARD is a deliciously basic synthesis of any number of ponderous biographical narratives with the poetic raunchiness of Apatow films, such as SUPERBAD and KNOCKED UP, and the most lovably inane aspects of Reilly's role as Cal Naughton Jr. in TALLEDEGA NIGHTS. In fact, fans will have a blast spotting the endless array of cameos by the gifted comic actors who pepper all of those films, including Jonah Hill, Kristin Wiig, Ed Helms, and Jack McBrayer, among many others. Although Reilly (whose comedic chops are nearly on par with his skills as a dramatic player) is hilarious as the hapless rock-&-roll icon Cox, and Jenna Fischer is utterly charming and slyly multifaceted as Darlene Madison (June to Dewey's Johnny), it's the ensemble cast that makes the film so much fun. WALK HARD is the cinematic equivalent of a rock-&-roll jam session: a basic, yet entertaining and fairly interesting idea gets tossed into the creative arena and everyone gets a chance to play along, riff on the idea, and mug for the camera. Though it's certainly no masterwork, fans will relish the good times as much as the actors so clearly do.

    A funny rock parody

    It's a great movie. You can't go wrong with Jon Reilly, he's always funny. And I'm a big rock fan so the premise is right up my alley, sort of a montage of "Walk the Line", "Love and Mercy" and various other rock bios of the last few decades. Definitely a great parody of the over the top rock lifestyle, with some very funny songs too. A must see!

    Strangely funny

    There is no doubt that Walk Hard is a great parody of the musician biopic as we know it today. The film is filled with rips and references to movies such as Walk the Line and Ray. Walk Hard does all of this very well, but also has its own brand of humor and jokes that stand on their own. From the time that the opening scene rolled, I knew that I was in for a treat. Judd Apatow and Jake Kasdan show their comedic genius throughout the movie, whether it be through clever dialog between characters or the genuinely funny original songs. The music performed by Dewey Cox does a great job of parodying various styles, from Dylan to Brian Wilson. John C. Reilly is fantastic in his role as Dewey Cox and establishes himself as a solid leading man. I was also thoroughly impressed that he actually ...

    Funny for John C. Reily!

    John C. Reily is brilliant and a great way to stand out as lead finally in the mockumentary of Dewey Cox. The vocals are suprisilingly well. A lot of people regard this close to the Johnny Cash's story, but very lose. A fun epic, but not for the children, EVER! Unless you can get it edited, as it has male frontal nudity. The language is subject as several F-bombs dropped. But the wrong kid did not die!

    yes! ...yes

    this movie is a hilarious ride throught the life of rock n roll (just so happens to be the life of dewey cox as well). best satire of any kind i've ever seen! from start to finish is full of laughs- but that's not all. actually has a good story and you really get into the characters. john c reily aces yet another role that no one else can match. just buy it! renting it will just result in late fees. if you don't get any enjoyment out of this movie i seriously have to question your mental status- enough said
