Watch Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story For Free

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This was the usual juvenile Apatow/Reilly fare but great fun to watch. It's worth it for the Let's Duet scene alone - in fact the music is so well done I spat out my wine laughing at one point. John C Reilly is utterly brilliant - it's his "Elf" moment. I watched Walk the Line the following evening as this is so clearly based on that movie primarily and kept giggling all the way through at jokes I'd missed. In short it's just a good fun movie with some very fun musical humour.

I can't believe it took ten years for me to finally see Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Was it worth the wait? Probably not. This has Judd Apatow's fingerprints all over it, having co-written the script and served as producer. Long story short....overall it's awfully silly. I was hoping for a little bit more substance or bite, but that isn't to say it's awful. Walk Hard has some very funny moments, and that would include the Beatles segment which I found quite amusing. I'll admit quite a bit of the music was actually pretty good, including the duets with Darlene (Jenna Fischer). On the other hand, the grand finale number was a big flop in my book, and did we really need all those scenes with Dewey in his underwear? Fans of Judd Apatow's "sensibility" may like this more than I did.

Just watched it again after couple of years. It is hilarious. artful and outstandingly produced, written and acted. Many of the actors are readily recognized from other roles in movies and TV, and went on to do other successful features and TV series...e.g. Jenna Fischer The Office. The R-rating allowed honesty and some funny vulgarity and language that some governments consider more dangerous than violence; go figure. Even more funny if you've seen 'Walk the Line'; The Buddy Holly Story; and even. 'One Flew Over the Cucko's Nest, plus and a few others, you'll remember as you watch the movie. The Dewy Cox songs are also good music and the lyrics contribute smartly to the outright audacious humour. Judd Apitow was involved in the writing of, Walk Hard, and I feel,it would likely be considered among his best work, if not for limited audience because of the R rating. But it was worth it. A film that will get even more appreciated and stay very funny with time.

At beginning of movie i thought this is great parody. The moment older 'kid' appear i see disaster."Humor" was more tasteless as movie continues. Bored by watching it, i wait patiently to see development but all i see was pathetic try of this movie to pass as "funny parody".-Instead to bring audience into funny world of our hero-they presented him as "big shoot" who somehow know what to do but do "funny" stuff. Just remember Leslie Nielsen: He' never egoistic, he try his best but always make disaster-that's funny! Our "hero" in this movie is egoistic, he is infantile, treats his wife bad, do orgy, penises appear on screen which is absolutely unnecessary and unforgettable from family point of view. -Like someone try to bring you giggle with tease when you are bounded. This film is so annoying.
