RT and Sony Presents the First 10 Minutes of Walk Hard!
Take your hand and check out the clip.
After turning
Knocked Up and
Superbad into box office
gold this year, are you guys ready for one last bout of comedy from
Judd Apatow
and the gang? The Apatow-produced
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox
Story is out in theaters December 21st, but for those who
want a taste now, Rotten Tomatoes and Sony Pictures have got your number: Click
this link for the
first 10 minutes (warning: age-restricted!) of Walk Hard!
Directed by Jake Kasdan (Zero Effect, The TV Set) and featuring John C. Reilly, Jenna Fischer, and a glut of cameos, Walk Hard has little of the loose improvisational comedy Apatow's (or even Kasdan's) other flicks. Instead, it's a snappy, absurdist spoof on musical biopics played straight by the actors. It's a rather delicate new subgenre the filmmakers seem to have created: melodramas about kids getting sliced in half by machetes and people barfing at doo wop concerts.
Click here for the 10 minute clip, which will play after you enter your date of birth. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story will be in theaters on December 21st.

on Dec 07 2007 03:43 PM The straight-played comedy took a few minutes to get used to. But seeing the 14-year-old Dewey and his 12-year-old girlfriend was pretty funny. Gonna listen to the soundtrack right now! (Reply to this) |
on Dec 07 2007 04:28 PM Not bad. Seems much better than the trailer made it out to be. (Reply to this) |
on Dec 07 2007 05:03 PM I just... wow, I don't know. I think I want to like this way more than I actually do. (Reply to this) |
on Dec 07 2007 05:21 PM It seems better than, say, a Scary Movie or Date Movie type spoof, but that wasn't as enjoyable as I had hoped. (Reply to this) |
on Dec 07 2007 05:35 PM looks like poop (Reply to this) |
on Dec 07 2007 05:56 PM Wow I'm sorry you guys didn't like it. I personally thought the first ten minutes looked great and can't wait for the rest. (Reply to this) |
on Dec 07 2007 06:22 PM Looks like it could be good. I would have rated that material PG-13, but I suppose they have to restrict it since the movie itself is R. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 07 2007 06:51 PM Am I the only person that thinks John C. Reilly doesn't work as a comedic actor? (Reply to this) |
on Dec 07 2007 08:40 PM How would the brother want to be an astronaut in 1946? (Reply to this) |

on Dec 07 2007 09:20 PM Not bad at all, reminds me of the first two Scary Movies. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 08 2007 04:44 AM Kind of boring, not really my thing. (Reply to this) |
on Dec 08 2007 08:30 AM John C Reilly is the man...but if this is anything like that load of crap that was Talladega Nights, count me out (Reply to this) |
on Dec 08 2007 10:45 AM "You here that! I'm Dewey's 12-year-old girlfriend!" Looks better than I thought. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 08 2007 12:07 PM Oh my God, that was hilarious. I hated Walk the Line with a burning passion, it's about time music biopics got the ***** slap they deserve. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 08 2007 01:05 PM John C Riley does not work as this kind of comedic actor, hes just naturally funny in things like Magnolia, Boogie Nights, and so many other flicks, in this an things piles of crap like Talladega Nights his comedic acting is just too damn forced and incredibly lame.

on Dec 08 2007 05:09 PM I like it. The comedy is a little forced, but it looks like they are generally trying to make a good film about crap. The cinematography looks surprisingly pretty good. Which is pretty funny. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 08 2007 08:40 PM JCR's done some great work and I would love to caress Jenna Fischer, but this...well, sucked. (Reply to this) |
|
on Dec 09 2007 01:12 AM Yeah, this isn't great. I mean, it's miles better than stuff like Date Movie, but I just hope it's better than Talladega Nights. (Reply to this) |
|
on Dec 09 2007 01:13 PM In reply to this comment (#1339166) I'm just curious-how come you didn't like Walk the Line? I thought it was great and was incredibly angry that it didn't get a best picture nomination at least. (Reply to this) |
