Walk Hard : The Dewey Cox Story (2007) 9/10

Starring : John C Reilly, Jenna Fischer, Tim Meadows, Kristen Wiig
Director : Jake Kasdan
Running Time : 121 mins

After killing his little brother in a machete related accident, Dewey Cox (Reilly) decides to make the most of his life in honour of his memory and becomes one of the biggest singing stars of all time. As his career sky rockets, he is faced with the temptations of drugs and women and becomes something of a lush before he realises that he has wasted his life and discovers what is truly important to him.

This is a wonderful comedy spoof of biopics, particularly Walk The Line. Reilly is brilliantly over the top as Dewey Cox, and proves that he is just as good in lead comedy roles as he has been in smaller roles such as Talladega Nights. There are some great songs and some magical cameos from some big names, and despite the two hour runtime this movie flows past quickly and proves that spoofs can still be good and don't have to be like Disaster Movie or Meet The Spartans.
