Its comic riffs are simple jingles that always seem
Its comic riffs are simple jingles that always seem to outstay their welcome. While Walk Hard DVD makes for a fine soundtrack, its less entertaining as a movie. Chances are, after seeing Walk Hard, itll be years before you can sit through a serious musical biopic and maintain a straight face. When they run out of clever ways to be funny, they fall back on their old standbys: crude, rude, nude, and lewd, which just shows that they didnt have enough material. This one pokes some fun at the conventions of the musical biopic genre instead of just replicating famous scenes from other films, and thats a much more satisfying way to go because it actually has a perspective on the topic. This gleeful skewering of American popular music works because of the talents of director Jake Kasdan and a cast led by John C. Reilly.
