A Fresh and New Experiment for Apatow

Rating: 9/10 (31 October 2008)

Normally we see Seth Rogen leading in the Apatow movies. Just recently he has broke onto the screen with Knocked Up and Pineapple Express. It is all well and good to see Rogen make a name for himself, but I found it to be a great decision to see John C. Reilly get a change to make a huge starring budget in this one. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is a different approach in Apatow's film career. It may include drugs and sex like all of his other movies, but the main back drop is the life of a musician. With a different cast involved instead of the regular Apatow clan. You really find yourself laughing a lot during this movie, because you see Dewey Cox experiment with music through every single time period that a revolution of music happened. So if you are a fan of Judd Apatow and a person who does enjoy the work of John C. Reilly I would check this out.
