Good parody

Rating: 7/10 (30 March 2010)

I find myself enjoying Judd Apatow movies despite myself, and this one is no exception.
It is an affectionate trawl through the rock'n'roll years, touching base with all the high profile points which following a Johnny Cash-type character. Most of the spoofing is spot on, the gags are funny, the running gags all work, and...
The songs are all good and, when they are pastiches, the pastiching is accurate and affectionate.
Oh, and John C Reilly is a revelation in a brilliant singing and acting performance.
Very enjoyable.
