This is messed up movie lol
Funny Funny. Well place mischief and humor thru-out. Great parody of Ray and Walk the Line.
luckily a few great laughs that just suprise you, when 'the silly' becomes Too Much all of a sudden, y`know.
Please you should watch 'Walk the Line' (Jaquien Phenix) befor viewing so-as not too ruin that picture (if only a picture it may well have been)
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.
this film should be rubbish but it had me cracking up. it's a complete rip off of 'walking the line' but underneath it rips all of these musicians who claim to have had it hard when it's all bollocks. some really funny stuff.
It started really well, I enjoyed John C. Reilly's brilliant and funny impression of Joaquin in Walk the Line, especially the part with his brother at the beginning, but this film soon spirals out of control into a joke that went too far. The joke goes too far, its always sad t...( read more)
This movie exceeded well beyond my low expectations. It kept me laughing the whole way through with some VERY funny jokes interspersed b/w mediocre and flat ones. Not as lame as I'd first thought judging from the commercials and subject.
Jake Kasdan's outrageous parody of musical biopics is a tasteless, profane, over-the-top affair that somehow manages to be fairly believable as it follows the contours of films like "Ray" (2004) and "Walk the Line" (2005). John C. Reilly is Dewey Cox, a young man from the South w...( read more)
A nice parody - unfortunately not very funny but extra points for Reilly performing the songs.
Hilarious and very clever send up of musician biopics. The casting is awesome, the performances good, but where the film really shines is the attention to detail (to both the time periods and the cliches being spoofed). It's a little too over the top at times, but overall a very ...( read more)
Shining non-sequitur humor nailing all the jokes about the musical phenom who succumbs to the deadly pleasures of rock & roll hedonism then joining that with by far more absurd, over-the-top antics. Smart and clever parody, strong original music and a winning self-mocking awarene...( read more)
Although a bit long, this movie is hilarious. John C. Reilly at his best. This movie, obviously, is making fun of legendary singer Johnny Cash and his experimental drug abuse. Really funny. I give it a B+
I'm starting to think that you don't believe in me... Of course I believe in you, I just know that you're gonna fail...
Fairly predictable, warm, fuzzy, good music, few laughs here and there. John C.Reily is marvellous as always and the amount of equally awesome actors that show up utterly out of the blue is pretty impressive. I'd recommend it to anyone up for a wee giggle and not too much in th...( read more)
When it comes to music no legend is bigger than Dewey Cox, whom America loves...IT'S A MUSICAL BIOPIC SPOOF! But behind the music is the up-and-down-and-up-again story of a musician whose songs would have an effect on the people. From the time he was a boy Cox beds with 411 women...( read more)
So absurd and gives you without pretension, the satisfaction of having a sense of humor. A parody film easy to watch indeed, but also catching. I wasn't sure at first if John C. Reilly had everything that it takes to carry the whole movie on his shoulders and I sure underestimate...( read more)
It had its moments, but it also had some of the most inane story arcs I have ever seen. A lot of treading water. Reilly did well, but Apatow needs to get a dose of reality...Kevin Costner-style.
This movie was absolutely fascinating. The music is incredibly original, despite being rip offs of rock music subgenre staple songs. The actors are fantastic, the expressions and professionalism of this movie make it hilarious and still maintain a pretty thick storyline.
I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF I THIS MOVIE, JOHN C.RILEY I ALSO LIKED IN BOOGIE NIGHTS.
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)
Enjoyable and humourous spoof film of Ray, Walk the Line, Etc, and making a good laugh out of the rock and roll / drug and sex years.
hahahahah! but i watched it on HBO. which they edited all r-18 stuff! but its ok. its still funny!
it was silly ,and not funny...
i cant believe i actually watched this movie!!
inspirational for me coz it shows how somebody change when he has everything but still he cant be complete for the thing that can only make him complete is the love from his father!and i love the soundtrack and the cutting in half by a machete.!1haha!never thought that a machete ...( read more)
it was pretty funny.... hehehe.... i never though that i would like it in the first place... but boy was i wrong! it was pretty damn wild, hilarious and kinda true in a way... i enjoyed the movie! and i think that the cast is damn funny! you have to watch this...!!! it starts rea...( read more)
It had moments of inspiration but the movie is surprisingly flat. The movie is a parody of all bio-pics, especially "Walk the LIne". The problem with some of the movie with me was that they had Reilly play a little to over the top at times. He also channeled Will Ferrell a little...( read more)
