A surprisingly funny and heartwarming movie

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2010)

When I was readying to watch this movie, I was not in an excited mood to watch it. It was on the free movies, the complete unrated version, which never happens unless the film is very poor. Very Pleasantly, I was surprisingly, I was hooked within the first minute. Which was weird, because I HATED Superbad. But, I LOVED this film.
The film stars John C. Reiley as Dewey Cox, who instantly becomes a likable character. Even when he's a kid, he's likable. One day, he and his over-achieving brother, Nate, played by Chip Horness, have a machete fight. Things turn bad, and Nate is cut in half. This starts a separation between Dewey and His father, Pa Cox, played by Raymond J. Berry. By the age of 14, he's tired of being bossed around by his folks, and shunned by the town. So, he packs up, and the rock star life comes at him, FULL FORCE! Honestly, if you're going to see this movie, see the unrated version. Yes, it's more shocking, but, it's also funnier, and it has more heart then the rated version. Honestly, this film quite shocked me. It's hilarious, thought-provoking and heartwarming all in one. Definite recommendation.
