Editors bat 1.000

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2015)

Rather than point out what others have done well, I just want to add that the editing on this film is first rate. There are many good comedies that have lots of great scenes punctuated by not-so-good stuff. Marx Brothers films come to mind - classics without doubt, but stretches where you can go get a beer and not miss much; and most of the parody films of the last 20 years. Walk Hard doesn't let up. There's hardly twenty seconds without a whack to the funny bone. It may be just a raised eyebrow or a near-throwaway line that just happens to be perfectly placed. If there's a rating for Jokes Per Minute (JPM), this movie is one of the alltime best. And as a musician, this for me is one of the two best music business parodies of all time, the other, of course, being Spinal Tap. It takes superior intelligence to know how to be supremely silly, and this movie has it!
