MCT:October 6, 2008
I was kinda skeptical in seeing this one mainly because of the damage Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg had done to the parody movie genre. 'Epic Movie' who was supposed to spoof 'epic' movies like Narnia and Pirates of the Carribean was a total mess. I didn't laugh one bit. Don't even start with 'Date Movie', its the most un-funniest thing you'll ever see in your TV screen. And the other film was just plain crap. I'm starting to think Uwe Boll is a better director than these two bloodsucking bottom feeders.
So anyway, this one was co-written by Judd Apatow, one of Hollywood's awesomest directors, and the actors are mostly from the Apatow gang so I decided to give it a try.
While it is not the greatest of Apatow's films, it sure succeeds in parodying 'Walk the Line' and it is hilarious as hell. The script, though sometimes a bit absurd and just plain crazy, was very well written. Its what you get from the world's greatest director in the comedy circuit.
John C. Reilly portrayed music legend Dewey Cox like Will Ferrell would have portrayed it. The dialogues uttered by Dewey Cox were so Will Ferrell-ish. I am starting to think Will Ferrell would have been a better Dewey Cox. Don't get me wrong, John C. Reilly was awesome but Will Ferrell, I think was a better choice.
The funniest scene would probably be the Beatles cameo in India. Jack Black is awfully funny as Paul McCartney, Paul Rudd was spot-on as John Lennon, Jason Schwartzman was hilarious as Ringo Starr and Justin Long was pitch perfect as George Harrison.
Watch it. It is a decent parody movie. 4/5 -

Pretty good spoof.

MCT:May 7, 2008While the movie was funny in places, it was nearly a scene-for-scene ripoff of the Johnny Cash film of a similar title. It takes much less effort to rework a script but retain the same scenes - it's almost lazy, in a way. Not only that, but the advocation of drugs is a major disappointment. Marijuana has been clinically proven to kill brain cells and slow reaction times. Dickweeds.

MCT:April 18, 2008I loved the fuck out of this movie. A great send up of all the musician themed movies that take themselves too seriously.

MCT:December 3, 2008This is one of those movies where the first time around, there is a lot you end up missing. The humor and language are tamed when you compare it to Superbad and Knocked up but the laughs are the same. As an old country music fan, the soundtrack was catchy and it drew me in for a rewatch, even though my first impression wasn't that good. Definitely funnier the 2nd time around.

wish that stupid banner would sod off, I like to type/hit buttons without a naked pic of Dewey Cox spinning down into my screen but I can't! Put a decent banner up already and one that doesn't annoy!
