Featured Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

John C. Reilly was appearing in Chicago onstage the other night as Dewey Cox, and the act may be something to fall back on if he ever gives up the daytime job. ...read the complete Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Instead of sending everything over the top at high energy, like Top Secret or Airplane! , they allow Reilly to more or less actually play the character, so that, against all expectations, some scenes actually approach real sentiment. ...read the complete Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

The tricky thing about parody movies is that the jokes get old fast and they're hit-and-miss. Walk Hard, a spoof of every musical biopic from Ray to Walk the Line, is guilty on both counts. How lucky that when the jokes do hit, they kick major ass. ...read the complete Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Movie spoofs in the post-Zucker/Mel Brooks era have been almost universally disappointing. ...read the complete Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Arizona Daily Star (Phil Villarreal)

Rolls out a procession of one-liners, toe-tappingly hilarious songs, stunning sight gags and dead-on parodies, all with tear-inducing humor, providing an easy ride to comic bliss....read the complete Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) review at Arizona Daily Star (Phil Villarreal)

Filmjerk.com (Brian Orndorf)

The Judd Apatow factory has produced a truckload of hits in recent years, most of them quite silly in construction and hilarious in execution. But nothing can quite prepare the senses for "Walk Hard," a parody feature that stumbles around like a maniac,...read the complete Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) review at Filmjerk.com (Brian Orndorf)

Charlotte Observer (Lawrence Toppman)

There's a laziness to the entire affair, as if the writers never went further than a first draft and never found anything unfunny enough to trim or remove....read the complete Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) review at Charlotte Observer (Lawrence Toppman)
