Avis sur le produitWalk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (DVD, 2008, 2-Disc Set, Unrated Version)

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 sang and played all of the music in the movie and did it well. Jenna Fischer's performance in Walk Hard may be just what her career needs right now. It's nice to finally see her breaking the mold that she has set for herself as Pam in The Office.

Walk Hard also featured a wide range of current and former SNL stars, such as Kristin Wiig and Chris Parnell. In addition, some of the regulars from past Apatow films are also featured, but I don't want to ruin any surprises here.

All in all, Walk Hard is a really solid comedy and a must see for any Apatow fans. If you are going to see Walk Hard, do yourself a favor and check out Walk the Line and Ray before going. It will make for a much more rewarding experience.Lire l'avis complet...

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!Lire l'avis complet...

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!Lire l'avis complet...

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 saidLire l'avis complet...

The Trials and tribulations of a professional musician

This movie is for the older crowd. I'll give it an R rating.. The quirky comedy will keep you rolling on the carpet with none stop laughter.. Jon C. Reilly delivers a performance that really brings this brilliant star into his own as a true superstar.. The movie keeps your senses on heightened alert, like a roller coaster going up hill,down hill and round the corner the movie portrays the ups and downs of life as a professional musician. A life as seen through the eye of the infamous Dewey Cox..

In conclusion: The Dewey Cox story will leave you in stitches as well as thinking about the pit falls of doing all the wrong things on the road as a professional traveling musician.. This movie is a must see!!!! I'll give it three thumbs up!Lire l'avis complet...

Dewey Cox Rocks

Extremely well done parody of a genre of film from "The Buddy Holly Story" through "Ray" and, of course, "Walk The Line". Great cast and some very funny sight gags. I rented this movie once and my son and I both loved it. As a big Johnny Cash fan, it did make obvious reference to some of the tragedy in his life, but did pay homage to the longevity of many of the musical icons that paved the way for what music has become today and how those individuals influenced the age. Just don't take it too literally or seriously.

Enjoy!Lire l'avis complet...
