Walk Hard Will Be Hard To Walk Away From

There are reasons to pass this film that will reasonably excuse any movie-goer from shelling out a pretty penny to sit in theaters and take in this unconventional comedy(come on spoofs are harder to watch than most comedies seeing that you can't relate to them). But if the absurd immaturity(positively speaking) of "Anchorman" meeting the foul-mouthed humor of "Superbad" and then doused with the professionally crafted spoof mastery of any Leslie Nielsen movie sounds like an intriguing spectacle, then by all means, don't let the price of admission to your standard everyday theater deter you from laughing your pants off.

There is much to enjoy in this film if you can manage to take a standard break from life and indulge in the silliness of the film. The writer's knew just what they were doing when creating each scene and every spec of dialogue. Additionally, John C. Reilly did a spectacular and very funny job as the main character, Dewey Cox. Admittedly, I've never seen John C. Reilly in a lead role and never much cared for him in his supporting roles, although I think he carried his roles well. What this film does do though is allow John C. Reilly to show himself to be a force to be reckoned within the Apatow world of comedy, who might I add, rules in all senses of the word. Tarantino might be able to slap his name on an Asian martial arts flick in order to reel in enough hype to make it worth seeing in America, but you slap Apatow's name on a film and it's instantly the funniest movie of the year, no question to it.

On a less side-tracked note, the film's music, all of which are sung with John C. Reilly's impressive vocal's with the exception of a few which are done as duet's with Jenna Fisher, are equally as wonderful as the film's laughable moments. The soundtrack is humorous at times, but many tracks are also serious and easy to listen to and definitely worth buying if you enjoyed the film.

Finally, Jenna Fisher, whose performance is also very much worth seeing and whose character is very much in contrast to her usual face as Pam Beesley in the TV series 'The Office', is very funny, very, very beautiful and sings her tracks with a pristine, yet rugged country voice, easily bringing to mind the likes of Loretta Lynn.

All in all, 'Walk Hard' is a film worth seeing - if at the least you are liberal with potty-mouthed humor.
