fake liverpool accent "great record, great record" is now a permanent part of my vocabulary to the point where i must come across as a right weirdo to people who havent seen it (most people)

Watched it this week and kept thinking about how absolutely terrible it would have been with Will Ferrell in place of Reilly.
absolutely. the supporting cast + cameos are all game and funny (I particularly appreciate Vedder's straight-faced RRHF speech) but it's impossible for me to imagine anyone but JCR killing it like that

one of my very favorite lines comes early, when he's at the talent show, watching the tap dancing girl or whatever: "How are we gonna top that?!"

My fav supporting cast bit is John Michael Higgins as the engineer when they record "Walk Hard", his performance as he's dressing down JCR slays me so hard.
This is one of those where I have to actively try not to rewatch it too often in order to not spoil it.

every time I see this movie I end up singing Dewey's rendition of 'That's Amore' for a day or two afterward

Listening to this now having finally read the Ringer piece. I rewatched this this weekend and have been marginally obsessed all over again. I really do need to see the director’s cut.Can we agree that the real tragedy of this movie is that Glen Campbell never recorded a version of Beautiful Ride (as he stood on the precipice of death)?

Slightly off topic but thread title hits a bit different now given the fallout between Ferrell and McKay's split up over Reilly's casting in the Lakers show.

garbled that but you know what I mean
Was thinking the same. Show is a bit of a trashfire but Reilly is gr8 in that.

Officially over this take, true even tho it may be
Hard to think of a single film released in my lifetime that has caused more artistic devastation than Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Every conventional biopic released since has been accidentally hilarious because of it— Robbie Collin (@robbiereviews) April 24, 2023
