Wordiezett So much average
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
fievelmouse Music fans and movie fans will absolutely love this send-up of rags to riches biopics. John C Reilly is incredible, the music is actually GOOD, and it's funny without ever being mean. I've seen this movie multiple times and I find some new moment every time. Best parts (SPOILER): Elvis, the beatles, "I can't build you a candy house!"
bgar-80932 I don't ever hear anyone talk about this movie but it's actually a pretty great parody of "Walk the Line". John C. Reilly kills it as Dewey Cox a young kid who was cast away from his family and goes down as a music legend. The comedy beats you over the head with the lines and it's intentional and there are plenty of laugh out loud moments. The music is actually really quality too and adds to making it a great comedy rather than a good one. It shows the whole life of Dewey Cox and I for sure recommend it. It even had a nice Jonah Hill cameo that I forgot about.
SnoopyStyle In 1946 Springberry, Alabama, Dewey Cox accidentally chop his brother Nate in half with a machete. As a teenager, Dewey (John C. Reilly) gains local success but he's condemned for playing Satan music. His father kicks him out leaving with his 12 year old girlfriend Edith (Kristen Wiig). It's hard. It's a long, hard walk. He will Walk Hard.It's a fun mockbio. It's mostly sharp deadpan comedy. John C. Reilly is great. It spoofs all the big clichés. Judd Apatow and Jake Kasdan skewered the music bio genre with this script. It's just great and nothing is off limits. It's not over the top spoof like the Abrahams and Zucker or worst the Wayans. Reilly is playing Dewey Cox almost straight but just dumb. The ridiculous stuff happens to him. It may hit wrong for the audience because they're expecting wild ridiculous spoof. It's a little different than that.
josh-walker-684-362713 I'm not gonna bother writing a review because 192 people before me have done it on this page. All i'm gonna say is I literally had to hold my sides about 4 times in this film. John C really nails it in this movie and shows that he doesn't need Will Ferrell by his side to make an amazing comedy. Personally i found this movie on par with anchorman if not better and i hope to see John C making more movies with him in the driving seat in the near future. A must see and if you have bought it on DVD, buy it again in case something happens to your first copy. A comedy classic!my Rating 11/10 (If i could)
