Walk Hard runs down quickly, and suffers further from having the wide-eyed and weightless Reilly as its star.
Reilly is recklessly funny.
Call me a cynic, call me a curmudgeon, call me perverse -- I loved every moment of Dewey Cox's story.
Walk Hard is the kind of movie that you want to love and not just like, but liking it is good enough.
'Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story': Sadly inert, alleged spoof of the subgenre, the crooner biopic
Like the drunk guy who squeezes your arm and tells the same joke over and over until you laugh, goddamn you, laugh!

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.
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.

I'm no 'Coxologist,' but this Walk the Line parody really, umm, grows on you.
Como sátira às inúmeras e formulaicas cinebiografias de músicos célebres, o filme funciona maravilhosamente bem. Pena que recaia com tanta freqüência na paródia, que peca por um exagero que embaraçaria até mesmo o trio Zucker-Abraham-Zucker.
a perfect storm of incompetent idiocy that might kill off mockumentaries altogether.
Who knew that Judd Apatow, the master of sex comedies, also spoke jive?
Walk Hard is not making a mockery of the music or the musicians. It only playfully takes the teases the filmmakers and the conventions that have developed in telling these tortured artists' stories. It's only Matinee price because it is occasionally a l
