Fully stoked! And John C. Reilly can actually act whereas Will Farrell is an embarrassment solid through.

That clip definitely reaffirms what a dull director Jake Kasdan can be and that the film is too high-concept to offer the kind of non-stop riffing "from the folks that brought you Knocked Up And Superbad" implies, but I laughed enough that I'll definitely still be checking it out.

I love biopic parodies. I've been wanting to do one about Abe Lincoln forever!
"Young Abraham Gironomo Lincoln, born to a family of poor immigrant grape-squashers in Illinois wine country, heads off to battle in the Civil War and comes home a war hero. Emboldened by his newfound celebrity, he starts on a campaign for the White House, running against John Wilkes Booth, an actor-turned politician. Musical score by The Aphex Twins."

Sometime I think there is nothing worse in life than Jim Breur.
I consider myself blessed, I don't recognize that name at all.

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?

This Friday I'm joined by @kalebhorton and @AlanSiegelLA to talk about the only biopic that matters: WALK HARD. *Tim Meadows voice* Trust me, you do want part of this shit. Until then, you can find all 30 episodes at the link below.👇👇👇https://t.co/l4ac6wSrYj pic.twitter.com/ANVPZdPtje— Soundtracker Podcast (@Soundtracker_) March 23, 2022

Listening to this now having finally read the Ringer piece. I rewatched this this weekend and have been marginally obsessed all over again. I really do need to see the director’s cut.Can we agree that the real tragedy of this movie is that Glen Campbell never recorded a version of Beautiful Ride (as he stood on the precipice of death)?

Slightly off topic but thread title hits a bit different now given the fallout between Ferrell and McKay's split up over Reilly's casting in the Lakers show.

garbled that but you know what I mean
Was thinking the same. Show is a bit of a trashfire but Reilly is gr8 in that.

Officially over this take, true even tho it may be
Hard to think of a single film released in my lifetime that has caused more artistic devastation than Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Every conventional biopic released since has been accidentally hilarious because of it— Robbie Collin (@robbiereviews) April 24, 2023
