Walk Hard – The Dewey Cox Story
It's safe to call this film a modern classic by now, I think.
One of the most iconic figures in rock history, Dewey Cox (John C. Reilly) had
it all: the women (over 411 served), the friends (Elvis, The Beatles) and the
rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle (a close and personal relationship with every pill
and powder known to man). But most of all, he had the music that transformed a
dimwitted country boy into the greatest American rock star who never lived.
A wild and wicked send-up of every musical biopic ever made, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is gut-busting proof that when it comes to hard rocking, living and laughing, a hard man is good to find.

- " Better than expected on the strength of John C. Reilly's Golden Globe-nominated performance. " – Richard Propes
- " Throughout his entire acting career, John C. Reilly has always played second fiddle, and his choice in movies has never really allowed him to show off his comedic talents. " – Adam Tobias
