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

****POSSIBLE SPOILERS for you weenies***
First third and last ten minutes of this are great, but it sags HEAVILY in the middle. From right after Dewey discovers cocaine and meets Darlene right up till the rap video with the Walk Hard sample, total snore, lots of VERY unfunny bits. But the 35 minutes of this that are good make it worth seeing. Especially
***OK, this is a BIG SPOILER!!!!!! BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE*****
the WTF cameo by....GHOSTFACE!!!
No shit.
Getting tired of seeing he same eight comedic actors in every goddam movie, by the way. Jack Black, please take a vacation fer crissakes. Freaks and Geeks was great and Superbad definitely very good, but is Apatow gonna just, like, recycle the same five actors in every movie now?

saying it "hates music" is a bit like saying 'airplane!' "hates commercial aviation".

The Dylan bit, or at least the song "Royal Jelly", is fucking great.

there's some funny stuff in this movie but a lot of it isn't very funny. and the songs aren't funny at all...i mean let's duet is okay but i was expecting some more jokes from that one.
the dylan nonsense song was pretty hilare.
― s1ocki, Wednesday, 26 December 2007 05:48 (eighteen years ago)
i loved it.
― chaki, Wednesday, 26 December 2007 07:08 (eighteen years ago)
aww shit this was such a fucking stinker. there were some laughs (everything with tim meadows). but you know it was SO FUCKING LAZY. the tunes were actually pretty bad-ass (except for the last song).

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.")

Supposedly Reilly is doing a small-scale tour as Dewey Cox. Check your local listings.
― j.lu, Thursday, 27 December 2007 12:33 (eighteen years ago)
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."
― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 27 December 2007 14:11 (eighteen years ago)
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.
