Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)
Parody better than the original

Clearly, this film was inspired by the wave of mid-2000s musical biopics like "Walk the Line." I won't pretend I don't have a soft spot for them, but ultimately this film trumps them all in every way - emotional impact, comedy value, character development and (possibly the most important,) saying something new in an over-saturated genre.
Recommended stoner or lazy Sunday afternoon flick.

I wanted to like this film :(

As an enormous fan of Westerns and a New Zealander, I was so excited to watch this film - having now seen it I'm left with nothing but disappointment. I'll run you through a quick pros and cons list
Pros
- Beautiful scenery
- Interesting and under-explored setting
Cons
- Predictable plot
- Idiotic characters
- Several poor actors
- Weak third act
- Little to no character development in anybody other than the protagonist.
This film feels like it's building to something that never comes. I had enormous hopes and probably a pretty large bias towards the film from the beginning, but it still failed to even entertain me. 4 stars
