"I will WALK HARD." When Dewey Cox said that, it really had a double meaning. One referred to his determination to pursue his dreams and become a star.
But the other larger connotation really encapsulates the main actor's (I can't remember his name) career choices. After some unremarkable attempts at serious roles, he decided to WALK HARD behind Will Ferrell. Waiting for an opening, if you know what I mean. Every time Will grabs his ankles, his little buddy is there to take advantage.
I'll admit, it was a smart financial decision. Only in America can you produce such a godawful product and still make millions of dollars. But now, it will be hard to ever walk softly. His roles are bound to only get more outrageous and silly.
I realize it's easier to make people cry or cringe than to make them laugh. But this film does none of those things intentionally. At least not for me. I honestly laughed more in Walk the Line, the movie this tries to parody.
In closing, I honestly believe this movie is every bit as bad as my summary here. I couldn't even finish the dumb thing, and I hope you didn't actually waste your time reading my p.o.s. review. Sorry....
John C Riley stars as Dewey Cox, a fictional take on Johnny Cash's Walk The Line. The movie does have a few good laughs but what really steals the film is the songs. Riley does a outstanding job as a singer and I hope he does more musical films. I liked the song Walk Hard and Lets Duet, one of the funniest songs ive heard in a long time. The part with The Beatles were awesome and I loved his take on Bob Dylan songs. I highly recommend this to fans of This Is Spinal Tap or A Mighty Wind. Its a good comedy on its own and ive yet to watch the unrated version.
