Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story (Widescreen Edition)

Date undefined

If you want a truly, unbelievably hilarious movie, than I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND Walk Hard! Judd Apatow strikes again with his grand adaptation and parody of some of the great musical films of our time, like "Walk The Line" and "Ray."

John C. Reilly does an outstanding job as our main character Dewey Cox, a man who becomes a musical sensation aided by the untimely (and unique) death of his talented brother. Of course even death is poked fun at here as Dewey's own father reminds us throughout the movie that "the wrong kid died!"

Trust me, if you want laughs from beginning to end, with great one-liners, spontaneous and sparatic events (some of which have nothing to do with the overall plot) than check this movie out ASAP! This movie is a Judd Apatow classic, and really shows that dadaistic tendencies have returned to comedy!

Great cast, great directing, hilarious from start to finish; please "walk hard" and get this movie!

Film writer Judd Apatow has officially become synonymous with low-brow comedy. And low-brow can sometimes be pulled off to surprising acclaim. And such is the case with WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY.

With The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up firmly under his belt (as well as Pineapple Express and You Don't Mess With the Zohan), Apatow has shown he knows how to tickle the funny bone of young and old alike ...but mainly the young. Deciding to test the waters of music history, Apatow jumped headlong into the tempest and came out of it looking fairly unblemished.

The main thrust of the film's success is undoubtedly that it centers on America's musical past, dipping us into Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan (big time), Jim Morrison (watch out for the penis shots), Elvis Presley (love the hair), Tim McGraw (country?) and even Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.

The other big draw is its title character/actor Dewey Cox played by the oft-underused comedic actor John C. Reilly (Talladega Nights). Reilly plays second fiddle to no one this time, and holds firm his grasp on the character. Completely ridiculous lines roll off his tongue in effortless fashion ("The Siamese cat is a symbol of mobility in Ancient Egypt."). He also is sometimes very physical in his comedy, running down the street in his underwear in true Jim Morrison fashion.

Other actors and actresses are fairly forgettable, however, with the notable exception being Sam (Tim Meadows, best known as a not-ready-for-prime-time-player on Saturday Night Live). Sam assists Dewey in his drug struggles, introducing him to the fairly benign (pot) to the deadly (Heroin). And watching Dewey go through withdrawals was hysterical from a medical standpoint ("I'm freezing!" "He needs more blankets." "I'm burning up!" "He needs less blankets.")

If you're an Apatow fan, you owe it to yourself to check out this musical farce. If you've been ho-hum on Apatow up until now, you still might want to check this one out.
