Don't Walk Hard To See This.

Rating: 5/10 (12 August 2008)

I was so excited to see this movie when it came out, and that's what made it even worse when I saw it and realized it sucked. This movie could have and should have been a lot better. The idea of a struggling blues singer striving for success is such a great idea for a movie and it was completely wasted here. Very few of the jokes were even laugh material at all. John C. Reilly was woefully disappointing, and sadly enough, the funniest character in this film was Jon Lennon (played by Paul Rudd), who appeared for about 4 minutes. Things started out OK, but once time started passing rapidly, this movie spiraled downward, getting worse by the minute. By the time the movie was half-way through I was already hoping for it to end soon. And by the time the final 15 minutes or so have arrived, this movie was pretty much terrible by todays comedy standards. Judd Apatow was only loosely affiliated with this project, so I won't bash him too much, but this movie is absolute garbage compared to things like "Knocked Up", and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin". Don't Walk Hard, walk away, that's what I say!
