Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)

8/10

The entire film has three repetitive jokes: Dewey cut his brother in half, Dewey can't smell, and he's going to take drugs. So it's kind of amazing how well the film works.

Throughout his entire acting career, John C. Reilly has always played second fiddle, and his choice in movies has never really allowed him to show off his comedic talents. That is, at least, until now.

... starts out brilliantly playing with the tired tropes of musical biopics before utterly losing its way.

Awfully uneven, sometimes not funny at all, but John C. Reilly is so goofily sincere and Jake Kasdan and Judd Apatow include enough comedic gems to make it worthwhile.

John C. Reilly does Dewey Cox as a hilarious stoner, beer gut middle-aged teen, with a touch of Imus. Move over, Britney Spears.

Como sátira às inúmeras e formulaicas cinebiografias de músicos célebres, o filme funciona maravilhosamente bem. Pena que recaia com tanta freqüência na paródia, que peca por um exagero que embaraçaria até mesmo o trio Zucker-Abraham-Zucker.

a perfect storm of incompetent idiocy that might kill off mockumentaries altogether.

Walk Hard is not making a mockery of the music or the musicians. It only playfully takes the teases the filmmakers and the conventions that have developed in telling these tortured artists' stories. It's only Matinee price because it is occasionally a l

In many ways outrageous -- but not outrageous for long enough -- Walk Hard has tremendous appeal and entertainment value.

Another comedy winner; if you have to ask why, it’s because it involves the Knocked Up guy. Hilarious – even the Beatles bit, this looks set to be a hit.

Knocked up hurriedly, you feel, in between Apatow's other projects, Walk Hard is the feted writer-producer's first fumble. As Spinal Tap's Nigel Tufnel might have put it, this one only goes to two-and-a-half.

Reilly, one of our best supporting actors graduating to star status, finally bound for glory.
