John C. Reilly stole Will Ferrell's career - a Walk Hard thread

Haven't seen the movie yet, but this is pretty funny:

haha

this was incredibly uneven, though there were a lot of funny parts.

Pretty much. Some good laughs. Wouldn't need to see it again but I wouldn't mind hearing the songs (or at least a full version of the cover of Bowie's "Starman.")

you don't want no part of this shart

wait

"this is such a dark fucking period"

best bit

Wouldn't need to see it again but I wouldn't mind hearing the songs

Supposedly Reilly is doing a small-scale tour as Dewey Cox. Check your local listings.

I think my favorite line was "That was early Dewey, this is middle Dewey." The songs were OK but kind of the weak spot of the movie, most of them weren't very funny aside from "Let's Duet."

loved it. lazy funny comedy, just enough really good stuff to make it worthwhile. i look forward to seeing this again, but on teh w33d.

My favorite part was the first shot of the giraffe. I saw this all by myself and was LOLing like a psycho.

also the Brian Wilson period. "This song is... not good."

and all the flaccid penis, roffle.

that "backlash" thing was pretty great.

*clink* xp

ugh that 'backlash' thing felt longer than the actual movie, for so little payoff.

John C. Reilly + Will Ferrell:

i thought this was funny. the brian wilson stuff and the dylan stuff was great.

saw it. fell asleep for 40% of it due to drinking halfa bottle of Devils Lair wine.

that 'green team' thing is shit. i lolled at 'backlash' though.

I haven't seen this yet either, but they played "Royal Jelly" on Fresh Air a couple weeks ago and I LOLed on the train like an idiot.

this is a pile of shit DO NOT SEE IT

I wish I had listened to this. There are a few good jokes but lots more jokes that fall flat and then are turned into tiresome running gags. Save it for DVD, if you must.

watched the 2-hour extended cut on dvd. liked it way better than the theatrical version. better paced and a lot of funny bits that shouldn't have been cut in the first place.

I dunno the fact that Disco Dewey got a whole era to himself didn't really work for me, there wasn't enough there to keep me interested. Though admittedly the same section feels much more rushed in theatrical.

Also: I CUT YOU IN HALF LIKE DEWEY COX

I laughed till I cried and then couldn't breathe toward the beginning, then had a 45 minute stretch there in the middle with nothing, then a smattering at the end.

You are WAAAY off man. I still believe Ferrell can come back, he's got it in him. John C. Reilly is just a pretender to the throne. Has he got the longevity and sustainability that Will Ferrell has? Anyway most people don't even know who this sucker is, viewers will go into Walk Hard expecting to see Will Ferrell and be quietly disappointed. I think Judd Apatow is playing them off against each other. The only person who could possibly match up Ferrell is Will Arnett but thats because he's got the quiet/loud/screaming thing down pat too.
Reilly is funny in his own right though, much respect. I will watch Walk Hard.

lol @ this:

Has he got the longevity and sustainability that Will Ferrell has?

VeronaInTheClub is joking, right?

We didn't watch the director's cut but the theatrical version wasn't as funny as I hoped it would be. Also Kristin Wiig totally kicked Jenna Fischer's ass in the funny stakes.

where were the jokes in this movie

o man, do we have a thread about the Ferrell/Reilly stepbrother LOLfest?

jenna fischer was hot in this but then again she's basically hot in everything kinda like how that lady from law and order criminal intent was hot in what about bob

Tim Meadows was the best thing about this movie. Dude could use a break of his own, to make up for The Ladies Man and all.

Overall it was only OK, and a bit too mean spirited in times when it should have been lighthearted. I thought Apotow and co. did a fantastic job with the music itself, and also the skewering of the various rock trends throughout the decades. If for nothing else, the film is worth seeing solely for the LSD/Brian Wilson sequence.

Yeah I realise that was quite an inchorent post. I want to believe Ferrell can come back and my heart does but my mind is like; yeah unlikely.

where were the jokes in this movie

THERE IS NO HANGOVER.

This gave me some much-needed weekend lols.

also the Brian Wilson period. "This song is... not good."

"I think that goat sings on this record more than I do."

I fucking LOVED this movie.

i didn't but that Brian Wilson parody part is v. funny!

I found this to be a long unfocused mess with a few high-quality lols.

I think this might be the funniest movie of the dECADE!

i can't really argue that it's a mess but i love it so much.

running, and crap, joke with friends is to shout "the wrong kid died" if Jim Belushi comes on the television.

there is no John C. Reilly thread so I'll just say this here

Cyrus was a really annoying movie

lol @ this thread's title

every time i watch Justified i just want Raylan's dad to say it

Interviewed about music. Good story:

I was at some charity event. One of these big Oscar party type of things. And I think it was a party that Elton John throws for AIDS research or whatever, and it’s one of those parties where you go in and it’s super stressful because literally any time you bump into someone it’s Tom Cruise, or Tom Hanks, or Kirk Douglas, one of those type of parties.

Yeah, one of those types of parties.
People think, oh, you’re famous, so those are your type of people. But I really don’t feel like those are my type of people. I feel like an imposter in the room whenever I’m at anything like that, or ceremonies, or whatever. Those things stress me out. But we were invited so I went with my wife, and we walk in and we’re starving because we’d already been to a few other things before we had gotten there. So we’re like, “Let’s just get some food, and not freak out and try to talk to every single person we see. Let’s just get food, calm down, eat, and see if we know anyone here.” So we get big plates of food, and we’re looking for somewhere to sit. Everywhere was full, but we spotted two spots.

So we go and sit down and I slide over with my big plate of food and my wife sits next to me and I take a big bite of prime rib, and I turn, and I’m literally shoulder to shoulder with Elton John. He’s like, *adopts British Elton John voice*, “Oh, you’ve decided to sit down next to me with your plate of food.” And I was like, “Oh, FUCK! God damnit. This is not how I wanted this to go!” But I was starving, and it was like, what’s more awkward? Getting up with a plate of food and walking away? Or just trying to just calmly eat your food and at some point mid-plate full, I said something like, “I’m a huge fan.” And he was just like, “Oh, well, of course.” Like, yeah, that’s obvious, every single person says that to me almost every day.

this movie is pretty clearly the best thing Apatow ever touched, thank christ he didn't direct it

I thought you were reviving this because of this:

I also liked that all of the Beatles went uncredited

people who don't like ths movie are dumb and also wrong
