Review: Walk Hard is a comedy spoof of the movie Walk The Line and other music biographies. John C. Reilly does a decent job of playing the fictional Dewey Cox, the rising and falling star of the 50's, 60's, and 70's. The storyline is better than most of this type of movie and the songs are actually pretty catchy. Reilly does most of the songs himself which adds to the overall value. Jenna Fischer is not only funny, but also brings some sex appeal. However, there can only be so much depth to a movie like this and a couple of scenes involving a machete are pretty much terrible. Still, not a bad flick for a light-hearted laugh here and there. -JNJ
