Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

Reviews Add Review

If you've seen Undeclared, Orange County or Freaks and Geeks, then you know Jake Kasdan loves subtle jokes that require you know a good amount about the topic before you watch it. Walk Hard is f hilarious if you know your music. Not all of the jokes...
Mmm... Ok, but the laughs are fewer and far between, than say Superbad or 40 Year Old Virgin. A lot of jokes are beat to death, like pulling the sinks off the wall. Walk the Line is a prerequisite or it won't be funny at all.
If you take a look at the average ratings (3.1 stars right now) you'll get the idea about what this film has to offer. It is a middle-of-the-pack comedy that has some funny moments but isn't great overall. What's sad is that I really wanted to like...
I'm normally a big fan of the comedy spoof, but this movie just wasn't funny. It wasn't rediculous enough to be over the top funny, not intelligent enough to be witty. Definitely a big disapointment.

"Walk Hard" has the great virtue of not beating each scene ("skit" may be a better term) to death. This well-done parody of pop-star bio-pics moves very quickly from scene to scene and era to era -- its hero croons from the '60s to the '90s. Every...
There are two funny parts. That's about it. I suppose it might be a good movie to have on in the background but don't expect to sit down and laugh out loud.
