Good spoof of music biopics

Rating: 7/10 (12 July 2010)

"Walk Hard" is an excellent a parody of musical biopics and in particular "Walk The Line".
Made by the team that gave us Knocked Up and Superbad fun is poked at showbiz biopic standards like a hectic love life, multiple forms of substance abuse, numerous offspring and a glorious late-career comeback. The laughs come thick and fast. Some of the jokes are a bit lame but not to worry as another one is just around the corner. The constant stream of gags is reminiscent of the "Airplane" and "Naked Gun" movies. John McGinley is perfect as the clueless Dewey. Familiar faces such as Jenna Fischer and Kirsten Wiig appear and there are cameos from Frankie Muniz and Harold Ramis among many others.
A perfect film with guaranteed laughs when you feel like a night in with a DVD.
