Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

Life made him tough. Love made him strong. Music made him hard.

A spoof of recent music-idol movies, featuring a fictitious pop star named Dewey Cox. From his humble beginnings, he rose to stardom, morphing his style along the way to suit whatever was popular at the time. He rubbed shoulder with a host of well-known pop stars, and had a torrid affair with one of his backup singers. Note the age restrictions, the humour is sometimes crude. Reviews have been average-to-good, so I suppose it depends on your personal taste.

94 minutes, No persons under 16 (Language, Sex, Nudity)
Comedy, Musical.
