Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
I still have my fingers crossed for Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. I don't know what it is, but ever since I watched the smokin' reefer clip and the red band trailer I have been geeked on this movie. Well, more the smokin' reefer clip than the red band, but you get what I mean.
EW Reviews Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
While I continue to hope, the first reviews for Walk Hard haven't been stellar. They've been good, but I'm anticipating greatness here.
Entertainment Weekly Walk Hard, a parody of warts-and-all pop-star biopics, comes out of the Judd Apatow factory (he produced and co-wrote it), and at first it appears to be nothing more or less than this year's model of Epic Movie, Not Another Teen Movie, and all those other happy-idiot genre spoofs that descend from the Airplane! school of artfully hyperbolic razzing. Directed by Jake Kasdan, the movie tells the story of Dewey Cox (John C. Reilly), a doltish country-rocker who becomes a star, meets a stage partner (sparkly Jenna Fischer) as prudish as a nun, and enjoys a rise to legend status matched only by his druggy, Daddy didn't love me! fall. A handful of the jokes score (the boy Dewey slicing his brother in half, which inspires his dad's refrain of ''The wrong kid died!''), a few fall flat (a not-dirty-enough tweak of dirty dancing), and most are mildly clever enough to keep you grinning.
