DVD Reviews of Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story (Two-Disc Special Edition)
DVD Review: A diamond in the rough!
Summary: 5 Stars
Every now and then, a movie comes along and totally blows away your expectations. This is one of those movies. John C. Reilly is hilarious and Jenna Fischer is way, way cute. Truly a movie that'll put a smile on your face. And the music? Not since the "Lemmings" troop from years ago, has better music been performed in a comedy. The title song is top notch, "The Duet" is hysterical, but for me, "A Beautiful Ride" is by far the best song in the flick. Sends shivers up and down my back. If you wanna feel good, get this movie, it does not disappoint!DVD Review: Parody on "Walk The Line" movie
Summary: 2 Stars
From the very (silly) start of the movie you know you are in for the goofy fun. John C. Riley gives wonderful performance as a main character Dewey Cox in the movie that is sometime funny, sometimes offensive and filled with stars from start to finish. Cast includes most of the comedians from the Saturday Night Live show and in addition to that Jack Black, Lyle Lovett, Paul Rudd, Jason Schwartzman to name a few. They all give fantastic performances in a movie that is making fun of Johnny Cash, Beatles, Elvis Presley and pretty much the entire music industry. I am not sure if John C. Rilley did his own singing in this movie, but if he did, he has a great voice that matches his acting abilities (I have a great respect for this actor). If you watch this film, be ready for the night of fun poking and superficial laughter.DVD Review: ..AND REMEMBER THIS MOVIE ONLY S U X COX,.....BECAUSE I SAY IT S U X COX! 1 3/4 STARS!
Summary: 1 Stars
It's seems that ever since 'Caddyshack' film makers have been trying to find a way to...get a group of funny people,.....put them in a dumb film and make a great movie! 'Walk Hard' is just another "churn out" comedy with an idea no bigger that an SNL skit trying to stretch in out into a full length movie! I must admit I did laugh quite a few times in this crude and silly film, but it grows old way before the credits role. A good cast of funny people can only do so much with a non existent script! Other than a few funny gags and a couple of funny song parodies this film sux, the lead character's name!...........COX!DVD Review: Walk Backwards
Summary: 1 Stars
Every comedian of this kind will argue that they are lampooning a worn out movie cliche without admitting that they have created another one themselves. The idea is this first attack the ethnic groups - southerners, Blacks, Jews, etc. and then ridicule anyone having marital problems, drug problems, famliy issues, career issues, and any kind of issues. Hit somebody who is down and defenseless and strike back with a worn out cliche about comedians who would be out of work if it weren't for lurid headlines of sex and drugs. We'll see how funny it is when Mr. Reilly loses a brother or a wife or has to give up whatever it is that he snorts in his spare time. DVD Review: great!
Summary: 5 Stars
shipped without delay, and dvd was in great condition, seller was honest and prompt. thank you!
Description of Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 04/08/2008 Run time: 216 minutes Rating: UrThe Pixar-like roll of Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad) continues with another sure-fire hit. In charting the meteoric rise, catastrophic fall and Lazarus-like rise of rocker Dewey Cox, Walk Hard parodies the classic Hollywood bio-pic, cashing in mostly on Walk the Line. John C. Reilly, one of Hollywood's most solid character actors, makes the most of his Golden Globe-nominated star turn as Dewey, whose road to stardom is paved with a childhood tragedy that claims the life of his prodigiously talented brother ("The wrong kid died," is his father's mantra), instant stardom (his first record is a hit just 35 minutes after it was recorded), sex and drugs, and the inevitable "dark (effen) period" that leads him to rehab. Reilly gets solid backup from current and former Saturday Night Live alumni, including Kirsten Wiig as his incredibly fertile first wife who has no faith in his musical aspirations ("You're never going to make it," she cheerily ends one phone call); Tim Meadows, never better, as Dewey's drummer, who, in one of the film's best scenes, does a poor job of dissuading him from trying marijuana); and Chris Parnell as his bass player. Jenna Fischer leaves Pam back at The Office as Darlene, Dewey's virtuous duet partner. Hilarious cameos give Walk Hard a great "Hey!" factor: Hey, that's Frankie Muniz as Buddy Holly. Hey, that's "Kenneth" from 30 Rock. Hey, there's Jack Black and Paul Rudd as--no kidding--Paul McCartney and John Lennon revealing "a rift in the Beatles." Some of the jokes are obvious (come on; the guy's last name is Cox), others inspired. But the decades-spanning music, echoing the styles of gritty Johnny Cash, romantic Roy Orbison, obtuse Bob Dylan, trippy Brian Wilson, and even a bit of anachronistic punk rock, is as pitch perfect and affectionately observed as in The Rutles, This Is Spinal Tap and A Mighty Wind. Walk Hard earns its R-rating, particularly for a sure-to-be-talked-about scene of hotel-room debauchery. But: Hilarious? Outrageous? Twisted? To quote the title of one of Dewey's hit songs, "Guilty as Charged." --Donald Liebenson
On the DVD
Though an unaccountable box office disappointment, Walk Hard is poised for discovery and cult status on DVD. You'd think the film had pretty much exhausted all the puns and double-entendres you could get out of Dewey Cox's last name, but the Elvis-inspired "A Christmas Song from Dewey Cox," the "Cox Sausage Commercial" and "The Real Dewey Cox," which are among this two-disc set's extra features, manages to get even more mileage out of that juvenile joke. Speaking of which, there is a "cockumentary" devoted to actor Tyler Nilson, who provides the film with its most shocking laugh during the hotel orgy scene, The Unbearably Long, Self-Indulgent Director's Cut contains, ahem, extended footage of that scene and features the deleted setups for some of the theatrical cut's more inexplicable gags (a deleted montage reveals just how Dewey and band member Theo wound up in bed together). Better than a gag reel is the "Line-O-Rama," a hit-and-miss compilation of improv outtakes. Full song performances give this film's Oscar-worthy music its due. The Daily Show's John Hodgman gets "The Last Word" in a celebrity profile spoof that was originally broadcast on Comedy Central. With a more traditional "Making of" featurette and entertaining audio commentary by writer Judd Apatow, director Jake Kasdan, and star John C. Reilly, Walk Hard walks even harder on DVD. --Donald Liebenson
