great satire of the "Walk the line" film

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2008)

I have just seen a really great comedy in which the whole cinema was belly laughing. This obvious satire of "Walk the Line" and themes of sex drugs and rock and roll stories in general is extremely funny and raunchy. This is the Dewey Cox story who is played by John C. Reilly. Reilly's performance gave me flashbacks of his role in Boogie Nights as an aspiring 80's Rock Star but this was a rich leading role.
I think its helpful to see "walk the line" but not altogether necessary as the "rags to riches" cliché rock star story has been put together very thoughtfully. I do not want to spoil this film with a detailed synopsis. There heaps of graphic drug and sex scenes so be warned. Dewy Cox befriends "The Beatles" , Elvis and very Music Icons along the way to the top. The Jewish humour incorporated into this film is great and there are guest appearances by Jack Black, Jason Schwartzman, Jewel, Lyle Lovett and heaps of other recognisable faces.
This film is must to see and you will probably watch it again on DVD.
I guarantee you will enjoy this film unless your anal retentive.
