Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
America loves Dewey Cox! On his rock 'n roll spiral, Cox sleeps with 411 women, marries three times, has 22 kids and 14 stepkids, stars in his own '70s TV show, collects friends ranging from Elvis to the Beatles to a chimp, and gets addicted to, and then kicks, every drug known to man. But despite it all, Cox grows into a national icon and eventually earns the love of a good woman, longtime backup singer Darlene.

Walk Hard is the kind of movie that you want to love and not just like, but liking it is good enough.

Cox rocks.

Awfully uneven, sometimes not funny at all, but John C. Reilly is so goofily sincere and Jake Kasdan and Judd Apatow include enough comedic gems to make it worthwhile.

Throughout his entire acting career, John C. Reilly has always played second fiddle, and his choice in movies has never really allowed him to show off his comedic talents. That is, at least, until now.

The entire film has three repetitive jokes: Dewey cut his brother in half, Dewey can't smell, and he's going to take drugs. So it's kind of amazing how well the film works.

Walk Hard runs down quickly, and suffers further from having the wide-eyed and weightless Reilly as its star.

... starts out brilliantly playing with the tired tropes of musical biopics before utterly losing its way.

Reilly is recklessly funny.

Call me a cynic, call me a curmudgeon, call me perverse -- I loved every moment of Dewey Cox's story.

The one area where 'Walk Hard' does manage to hold its own against classics of the genre such as 'This is Spinal Tap' or 'Sweet and Lowdown' is the music, all of which is expertly written and performed.

The only gale-force laughter in later scenes comes when the hero meets the Beatles.
