Surprisingly Good Comedy for someone who usually plays a side-kick

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2007)

I had the pleasure of making it out to the movie theatre this Christmas to go and see a movie. I was shocked too hear my Aunt suggest Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, but there it was. I went to see it with my entire family and some extended family.
Initially, I had heard nothing about the films, nothing from friends ore acquaintances who had seen it before me. After seeing various trailers, I was under the impression it was just another horrible farce movie like Date Movie or The Comebacks. This wasn't the case at all. It did have a few references to Ray and was an overall farce of Walk the Line, but it was not over the top at all with it. It was actually a shock to see how good John C. Reilly's voice was. Also, I may add that Jenna Fischer was stunningly beautiful and did great in her role (I don't think it was her singing though).
There are several lines that had me laughing through entire scenes. I was even surprised to turn to my mother and aunt, who were laughing along with me. I was actually in tears from one specific part.
My only disappointment was that the movie started a little slow. The comedy at first was kind of juvenile ad weird. However, once the movie got rolling it was fantastically hysterical.
