What’s up with the biopics? They’re all so whiny and melodramatic. For anyone who’s ever thought that, so have Jake Kasdan and Judd Apatow, co-writers (Kasdan was also the director) of Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.

A Rundown of the Plot

“Just give him a couple minutes, son. Dewey Cox has to think about his entire life,” says Sam (played by Tim Meadows) during the schmaltzy opening minutes. It’s just the first riff on the raff of all those silly little ostentatious bawlers with which the populace has been inundated over the years, the most recently notable being Ray and Walk the Line.

The audience is then escorted away to a childhood memory, where Dewey and his brother have a machete fight. This predictably results in malady, though the type of malady is hardly predictable (“This was a particularly bad case of somebody being cut in half,” says the doctor). Those must’ve been some pretty sharp machetes.
