There is no doubt that Walk Hard is a great parody of the musician biopic as we know it today. The film is filled with rips and references to movies such as Walk the Line and Ray. Walk Hard does all of this very well, but also has its own brand of humor and jokes that stand on their own. From the time that the opening scene rolled, I knew that I was in for a treat. Judd Apatow and Jake Kasdan show their comedic genius throughout the movie, whether it be through clever dialog between characters or the genuinely funny original songs. The music performed by Dewey Cox does a great job of parodying various styles, from Dylan to Brian Wilson. John C. Reilly is fantastic in his role as Dewey Cox and establishes himself as a solid leading man. I was also thoroughly impressed that he actually sang and played all of the music in the movie and did it well. Jenna Fischer's performance in Walk Hard may be just what her career needs right now. It's nice to finally see her breaking the mold that she has set for herself as Pam in The Office. Walk Hard also featured a wide range of current and former SNL stars, such as Kristin Wiig and Chris Parnell. In addition, some of the regulars from past Apatow films are also featured, but I don't want to ruin any surprises here. All in all, Walk Hard is a really solid comedy and a must see for any Apatow fans. If you are going to see Walk Hard, do yourself a favor and check out Walk the Line and Ray before going. It will make for a much more rewarding experience.Read full review
John C. Reilly has never been funnier than as Dewey Cox in Walk Hard! It is an episodic satire of music from the 50s on down thru time, from one genre to another. The deluxe 2 disc edition (both DVD and BluRay) offers an extended version well worth getting that version.

John C Reilly is his comic genius self but his singing and performance as an artist are just amazing! He makes you almost believe Dewey Cox is or was a real artist! Some parts can get a little raunchy but that’s part of the saltire in the types of movies Walk Hard is all about. So many surprising cameos throughout from real famous artist as well! One of my all favorite classic comedies!
