Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

When this magnificent weblog began in 2006, the rules were always that the screened movie being screened had to have been screened on the BIG screen. And as I remember it, I watched Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story as a screener, so NOT on the big screen, which meant that it didn’t belong on Screenscreen. Which means there is no original review of this hilarious, cameo-filled send-up from 2007. But it belongs on a list of one of the best versions of this kind of Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker/Mel Brooks humor, lampooning a movie genre and all of its tropes. Which reminds me, I should revisit The Rutles
