An uneven comedy that manages to be more hit than miss. Walk Hard has the funniest songs since Team America: World Police, but this kind of absurd comedy isn't perfect for everyone. If you don't laugh within the first 5 minutes, then do yourself a favor and turn the movie off. Th...( read more)

Walk Hard, like numerous parodies, had the potential to be a funny movie. Somehow, somewhere along the way this became a big miss. It has a few moments of laughter, but mostly chuckles at best. The story feels a little long winded and flat. John C. Riley's best assests are as...( read more)

Still great and greatly over looked.
I loved the fuck out of this movie. A great send up of all the musician themed movies that take themselves too seriously. -

A definite parody of Walk the Line, which has some shining moments and some not so shining moments. John C Reilly, normally the sidekick, holds his own in the lead role of Dewey Cox. The music is actually fairly good, there's some very classic scenes and for me, I found it more...( read more)

But this a spin off...( read more) -

This movie.... was ridiculous to say the least. Seriously, I like crazy random comedies just as much as the next guy, but this one really took it way too far. The jokes were more stale than anything, but still gave me a good laugh every once in a while. Seriously they should have...( read more)

There are some very funny moments, but the movie is too long and often just too over-the-top for its own good.
Critic Reviews
After 'Superbad' and 'Knocked Up', Judd Apatow has now pulled off the movie equivalent of the Triple Crown. full review
Writer-producer Judd Apatow, star John C. Reilly and director Jake Kasdan eviscerate the genre gleefully. full review
Walk Hard is funniest in its first half, when you're not quite sure where it's going, and drags in the second, by which time you realize it's going nowhere. full review
In a season loaded with serious films about war and loss, there's bound to be an audience out there looking for some undemanding holiday laughs. full review
Instead of sending everything over the top at high energy, like Top Secret or Airplane!, they allow Reilly to more or less actually play the character, so that, against all expectations, some scenes a... full review
Walk Hard is 100 minutes of fun, and for pure, uncomplicated enjoyment, it's the movie to see right now. full review
Walk Hard is Apatow's undistinguished -- in fact, shamelessly derivative -- contribution to the mockumentary genre. full review
The film gets some mileage out of mocking fatuous biopic conventions. full review
The tricky thing about parody movies is that the jokes get old fast and they're hit-and-miss. Walk Hard is guilty on both counts. How lucky that when the jokes do hit, they kick major ass. full review
