Walk Hard The Dewey Cox Story
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this, I did a search and the name Dewey Cox appears in only two threads. It's surprising to me as readers of magazines like Word would appear to be a prime audience.
I had zero expectations which undoubtedly helped but I thought it excellent.
If you've not seen it, it's a pastiche of musical bio-pics (primarily Walk the Line) and Dewey's journey takes us from the 50's through the protest era, past disco to the present day.
It's very crude but my only real complaint is they cast Jack Black as Paul McCartney! If he didn't identify himself by name you'd never guess who he was supposd to be.
This clip is from the mid-60s and Dewey is enduring a press conference.

Yes, I thought
it was a wonderfully funny and well observed movie.
Re. Jack Black as Macca. I assumed that was the point, though. None of them looked anything like the Beatles, so they kept referring to each other by name so we knew who was who - "What do you think, George Harrison?"
Maharishi: "Please, Beatles, no fighting in India!"
I'm afraid to say
I thought it was one of the worst films I've ever seen.
saw it twice
that jerry lee/ray charles childhood was hilarious
..the 70's dark period
This was a particularly bad case of somebody being cut in half
Great fun - and some terrific musical pastiches, particularly the Brian Wilson one (except it needed more didgeridoos)
"The wrong kid...
...died!"
Fabulous pastiche
Loads of fun. Thanks for the reminder, might look in again.
"Hey, I've got a new mantra...
...Ommm Paul's a big fat cunt!"
I like the commercial for Cox Sausages - "It doesn't say Cox, unless I say it tastes like Cox!"
