Review of Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) by Jamie I — 26 Jun 2016
I laughed from start to finish hoping I didn't laugh so hard I missed a joke. Apatow's band of merry men all made appearances here including: Paul Rudd (had me in tears playing John Lennon) and Apatow's merry woman, Jane Lynch.
My absolute favorite part (I mean I couldn't stop laughing/talking about it well after it happened) was Dewey Cox's time in India with The Beatles. Paul Rudd is John. Jack Black is nothing like Paul McCartney, Justin Long is George Harrison and Jason Schwartzman is Ringo Starr.
Long and Schwartzman nailed, fucking nailed it. I mean It was a little hard to tell who was really behind that facial hair and that nose. Rudd's was also spot on and I think Black's was just to crack us the fuck up.
Another memorable moment was little Frankie Muniz's Buddy Holly. Fucking priceless. Talk about shocked to find Jack White played Elvis! He was hilarious. I didn't know he had it in him! Another prize moment was the song "Let's Duet.
" The song is heavily laden with sexual innuendos cleverly disguised (maybe not so disguised) as innocent song lyrics. I can't wait to get my hands on the soundtrack. Cox's Bob Dylan was too funny.
I think I have to see this movie many more times to get everything in here. .
