HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE WALK HARD THE DEWEY COX STORY FROM DVDTLAK
It takes a smart team to make a good spoof. This is evident in the many not-good spoofs that have polluted cineplexes in recent months, simple-minded exercises like "The Comebacks" and "Date Movie" that think referencing something is the same thing as spoofing it. "Walk Hard" gets it. Written by Jake Kasdan and Judd Apatow and directed by Kasdan, it's a parody of musical biopics, particularly "Walk the Line" and "Ray," and it merrily deconstructs the conventions of the genre with subtlety and (where required) blatant outright mockery. When the legendary rock singer Dewey Cox (John C. Reilly) stands contemplatively in the shadows backstage before a performance and a crew member urges him to get ready, a band member explains: "Dewey Cox needs to think about his entire life before he plays." The rest of the film is a flashback, of course, starting with Dewey's childhood in Arkansas in the 1940s. His brother Nate is a talented pianist and the favored son; as you know from seeing other biopics, Dewey is bound to be responsible, at least indirectly, for Nate's death. In this case, it's horseplay in the barn that leads to Dewey accidentally cutting Nate in half with a machete. At age 14, Dewey -- already being played by the very obviously 40-something John C. Reilly -- performs rock 'n' roll at a school talent show, resulting in mayhem. A few years later he's married to, and has an impossible number of children with, Edith (Kristen Wiig), who doesn't support his dreams of being a musician. "I do believe in you!" she insists. "I just know you're gonna fail." He sweeps floors at a black nightclub where everyone dances erotically, and gets his big break when the regular singer/guitarist is injured. His trajectory mostly follows Johnny Cash's, notably in his falling in love with a backup singer named Darlene (Jenna Fischer) and eventually leaving his wife for her. He becomes a drug user, too, after being introduced to it by his drummer, Sam (Tim Meadows), who warns him against using marijuana ... not very convincingly, since he also mentions that it has no side effects, isn't addictive, and is the cheapest drug there is.
