Sexylocher Masterful Movie

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

bgar-80932 I don't ever hear anyone talk about this movie but it's actually a pretty great parody of "Walk the Line". John C. Reilly kills it as Dewey Cox a young kid who was cast away from his family and goes down as a music legend. The comedy beats you over the head with the lines and it's intentional and there are plenty of laugh out loud moments. The music is actually really quality too and adds to making it a great comedy rather than a good one. It shows the whole life of Dewey Cox and I for sure recommend it. It even had a nice Jonah Hill cameo that I forgot about.

isobeljones This was the usual juvenile Apatow/Reilly fare but great fun to watch. It's worth it for the Let's Duet scene alone - in fact the music is so well done I spat out my wine laughing at one point. John C Reilly is utterly brilliant - it's his "Elf" moment. I watched Walk the Line the following evening as this is so clearly based on that movie primarily and kept giggling all the way through at jokes I'd missed. In short it's just a good fun movie with some very fun musical humour.

chrisjourneay-18887 This is one of the all time funny movies. Every joke works. If you are a fan of older music you will appreciate it even more! I guess for being a fan, "I'm guilty as charged!"

murthy-adivirk I have watched this film several times. I even own the extended cut which runs for 2 hours. The comedy lacks any subtlety. But that is intentional. A musical journey starting from the time of Robert Johnson to Eddie Vedder, despite the spoofs, the film makes an homage to all music genres and all artists who lived their time. The bold 50s, the crazy 60s, the drug riddled 70s, you could call this an American version of This is spinal tap but they are both completely original and different films. The songs are good, with great lyrics and the final song "A beautiful ride" always manages to bring a lump in my throat. Of course, this film isn't for everyone. You need to cultured sensibility to make sense of and appreciate the humor.
