Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
I caught a couple TV spots for Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story on television today and noticed that they were beginning to feature some positive quotes from early reviews. To get an idea on what they were talking about, a scoured the net to see if I could find anything.
Early Review: Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
After a bit of searching, I could find only one published review (so far) for Walk Hard and, as hoped, it is extremely positive.
Cinema Signals
"I Walk the Line" meets "Saturday Night Live" in this comedic spoof that is an elongated skit on the musical legend. Freed from the constraints of reality and the threat of defamation suits, this pseudo-bio probes all the living cliches of idolatry and personal demons of the rock star with parody power-thrusters blazing.
The pugnacious John C. Reilly may be getting himself into Will Ferrell territory here, but it's not like he hasn't prepared himself for this rare starring role with such risible items as "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" and "A Prairie Home Companion." The man is gifted and knows no bounds. Walking hard, for him... effortless.
