John C. Riley is brilliant and this movie had me in stitches the whole way...a wonderful parody of previous rock movies. The script was hilarious and great casting also. | | | | Reply | | |

Not great but very entertaining and worth watching but don't take the kids. I was impressed by the music, did stir some emotions and very funny at times. | | | | Reply | | |

This was a really stupid movie, even as a parody movie it was an extremely waste of time. The acting was alright, but the story was just ridiculous. | | | | Reply | | |

There is no doubt that Walk Hard is a great parody of the musician biopic as we know it today. The film is filled with rips and references to movies such as Walk the Line and Ray. Walk Hard does all of this very well, but also has its own brand of humor and jokes that stand on their own. | | | | Reply | | |

Excellent parody! Makes fun of Elvis, Doors, etc biopics. Love some of the lines in movie too, esp when he says, "I'm think I'm doing pretty good with a wife and baby and a house and I'm only 15!" | | | | Reply | | |

Sure, there were some good moments in this movie, but they were not nearly enough to keep me involved or interested. | | | | Reply | | |
