New Dewey Cox Video - "Walk Hard"
The trailer for Jake Kasdan and Judd Apatow's all-star foray in musician biopic spoofing didn't come off that well, but things look a little better as soon as John C. Reilly lip curls his way out to a an icy reception in this performance of the movie's title track ("Well, looks like I've got some proving myself to do"). Tim Meadows (Sam) counts it off, John Michael Higgins nods along at the revelation that is this tune, Chris Parnell handles double-bass and harmonies, and iconic cocktail Dewey Cox -- squarely in his Johnny Cash phase -- soundtracks a montage of his trials, tribulations, and toilet tantrums. Not sure if Jack White does anything more than karate chop in this one.
Walk Hard is out 12/21 via Columbia Pictures. Hit the official site for trailers and Dewey Cox bobbleheads.

What a corn encrusted turd this movie is going to be. And I'm a big fan of dick jokes too but not even the name Dewy Cox gets a giggle out of me anymore. They missed the mark badly on this one.

this song is dumb, they should have gotten Christopher Guest.

I agree it looks shitty. Which is too bad since John C Reilly is awesome

Incidentally, the Eagles still suck

I don't understand how people don't think this will be a funny movie. John C Reilly as the MAIN CHARACTER! And Jenna Fischer looks hot as hell. Mark my word it might be a sleeper hit.

I saw a screening of this tonight with about 250 people. The first twenty minutes everyone was laughing so hard, some jokes and lines were missed. This is in my opinion Apatow's funniest film to date. And we're not talking penis jokes here; this is one of the best satires of bio-pics I have even seen. You can't quite compare it to the Spinal Taps etc, as they are mockumentaries; Walk Hard is a brilliantly satirical movie. It pokes fun at not just the subject matter, but also at itself, and the filmmaking cliche's typical of the genre, particularly with on-the-nose dialog and exposition. This will be the biggest comedy of the this season, hands down.
