 Walk Backwards October 21, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.

One of the better movies ive seen of late September 1, 2008
John C Riley stars as Dewey Cox, a fictional take on Johnny Cash's Walk The Line. The movie does have a few good laughs but what really steals the film is the songs. Riley does a outstanding job as a singer and I hope he does more musical films. I liked the song Walk Hard and Lets Duet, one of the funniest songs ive heard in a long time. The part with The Beatles were awesome and I loved his take on Bob Dylan songs. I highly recommend this to fans of This Is Spinal Tap or A Mighty Wind. Its a good comedy on its own and ive yet to watch the unrated version.
 Fantastic Movie If Your Looking For Fun And Laughs August 25, 2008

If you liked Walk the Line, you may want to steer clear of this movie, because you might be offended by the fact that they are parody-ing the life of Johnny Cash and other rags-to-riches performers. However, if you have a bit of a twisted sense of humor, and like John C Reilly, then this movie is amazing. I watched it in the theaters, then rented it to show to friends twice, and finally bought my own copy, which I showed to several more people because I was so impressed with the wit and energy of the movie. The songs are hilarious, and Tim Meadows is excellent in his supporting role. I'll Walk as Da*n Hard As I Please!
Not "Spinal Tap" But It'll Do August 23, 2008

Based on the lukewarm box office of "Walk Hard" it would appear that John C. Reilly will spend his career relegated to second banana status to Will Ferrell which is a shame. In past endeavors Reilly has shown himself to be a consistently fine comedian and singer and this film is no exception. Ostensibly a satire of musical biopics, particularly the Johnny Cash film, "Walk the Line", the laughs are scattershot but every now and then a bullseye is hit. Three scenes stand out in my mind. A bawdy duet with Jenna Fischer called "Let's Duet"(Do It?). A sidesplitting riff on Bob Dylan circa "Don't Look Back". A hilarious encounter with the Beatles during an audience with the Maharishi. There are a number of missed opportunities here but enough bellylaughs to make "Walk Hard" worth your while.
