thread_title: Spoiler Warning?

message: Anybody else think that this movie is in many ways a spoof of Oliver Stone's The Doors as well as Walk the Line?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.226.25.215 (talk) 23:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not spoof. Parody. Its an intentional parody, as shown in the article, of biopics of many stars and artists.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.183.241.170 (talk) 00:37, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Expand more on the entire plot, otherwise this section should be considered a summary. The Trivia paragraph does not belong here, and needs some serious cleaning up.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wycked (talk • contribs) 00:54, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Finish up. 

message: Can somebody add that this film has several scenes of full frontal male nudity? When it appeared in the movie I was completely shocked and disgusted. I believe that there should be some kind of warning. Maxtro (talk) 01:58, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Full frontal male nudity 

message: The article says that "His attitude and drug problems cause him to become unfaithful to his first wife Edith in more ways than one."  The last few words of this sentence seem like a "teaser" remark designed to stir up curiosity while obviously and deliberately leaving the information to satisfy that curiosity.  That approach seems more appropriate for an advertisement than an encyclopedic article.  I suggest either deleting the words "in more ways that one" or rephrasing to provide the missing information. -131.107.0.73 (talk) 16:56, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I think a section that lists and explains the specific parodies within the film would be a great addition to the article. 98.110.177.20 (talk) 23:53, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Parodies in the Movie

message: The "short people" song is obviously (???) a parody of Bill Joel's style, yet Dewey sings it a few years before Joel became popular. And while we're at it... I don't think Yiddish is anyone's "native" language. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 22:54, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no idea how you can hear Billy Joel in Let Me Hold You (Little Man).  The fact that both songs use the nonsense "na-na-na-na" singalong sound?  The song is stylistically just a folk song, not in reference to any artist or song.  The point was that Cox is embracing a variety of causes that he doesn't understand, and displays his ignorance in the songs.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.136.22.4 (talk) 20:57, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: intentional "anachronism"?

message: While it is true that the film pays homage to many "biopics", it is most closely related to Walk the Line (Johnny Cash) and Ray (Ray Charles), which came out shortly before Walk Hard was written.  While Walk the Line is specifically mentioned, Ray is not.  The beginning scenes with the death of the brother and "smell blindness" and the later scenes involving Tim Meadows and drugs were particularly reminiscent of Ray.  Let's give credit where due.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Springfield Bob (talk • contribs) 19:18, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

message: This article makes use of the word midget in the plot section, which is generally regarded as offensive, and I feel that unless the use of that word is relevant to the movie it should be changed to a non-offensive term such as dwarf or little personLion348 (talk) 18:50, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
