What Parents Need to Know
About Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
Parents need to know that, like most comedies produced by Judd Apatow, this spoof of music biopics is a pretty hard-R affair. There's full-frontal male nudity (including at least three close-ups of male genitalia), several shots of bare-breasted women, and lots of sexual innuendo. The main character is introduced to (and takes) almost every kind of drug -- pot, pills, acid, cocaine, you name it. There are also several off-color Jewish jokes (about them running showbiz, for instance), African-American stereotypes, and plenty of strong language. A few violent scenes are played for laughs (including two that show people who've been sliced in half by a machete).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the movie pokes fun at straightforward biopics like Ray and Walk the Line. What Hollywood "formula" for telling musicians' life stories does the comedy make fun of? Is it on target? How are musicians typically portrayed in the media? Kids: Do you think all famous rock stars live like Dewey Cox? What parts do you think are exaggerated for laughs? Families can also discuss the "return" of the R-rated comedy. Do the raunchy bits make movies like this funnier, or do they go overboard?

Awesome
This is one of the best movies ever made. The Big Lebowski on country western. I didnt see it comming, but this movie is fantastic. A rare find that many will miss, too bad, it's hillarious.

I want my 2 hours back
An interesting premise and fairly good acting were ruined by gratuitous nudity that was painful to see. When you go for the lowest common denominator, this is what you get.

i laughed super hard..
yet there was still a bit of bad stuff in it. you see a close-up of a nude guy twice, and there is only one seen where you see female frontal nudity. the cursing wasnt too bad, it wasnt constant like in other movies ive seen like Superbad, so that was cool. no violence except the dad and brother were both cut in half, not gory, but meant for laughs. the drug seens were funny. im not saying doing drugs is good but it was just meant for laughs. those seens were my favorite parts of the whole movie. all in all, i recommend this movie to anyone over 15.

Super funny, for adults, not kiddos
funny stuff. It is for sure for adults more than the kids. Great satire/parody illustration.

I liked it, but I would've liked it to be more original.
I thought this film was kind of funny... But... I did have a little problem with its originality. I thought I was watching a funny version of "Walk the Line" ( The "Walk Hard" songs in the movie are better). I would recommend this movie for mature 13+.
