Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

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

Directed by Jake Kasdan

Produced by Apatow Productions, Columbia Pictures

200796 min6.6 / 10

A raucous, genre-parodying comedy that mines absurdity from rock-star excess and musical history while maintaining genuine affection for its flawed protagonist.

Following a childhood tragedy, Dewey Cox follows a long and winding road to music stardom. Dewey perseveres through changing musical styles, an addiction to nearly every drug known and bouts of uncontrollable rage.
