Good concept, poorly executed.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

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.

Cringefest from minute one! Could have been dun and dusted in an hour twenty!

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!"

Just watched it again after couple of years. It is hilarious. artful and outstandingly produced, written and acted. Many of the actors are readily recognized from other roles in movies and TV, and went on to do other successful features and TV series...e.g. Jenna Fischer The Office. The R-rating allowed honesty and some funny vulgarity and language that some governments consider more dangerous than violence; go figure. Even more funny if you've seen 'Walk the Line'; The Buddy Holly Story; and even. 'One Flew Over the Cucko's Nest, plus and a few others, you'll remember as you watch the movie. The Dewy Cox songs are also good music and the lyrics contribute smartly to the outright audacious humour. Judd Apitow was involved in the writing of, Walk Hard, and I feel,it would likely be considered among his best work, if not for limited audience because of the R rating. But it was worth it. A film that will get even more appreciated and stay very funny with time.
