It is rare these days to see a movie come out with so much hype and promotion and then actually live up to that hype. Next Friday on the 21^st of December, you will get the chance to decide for yourself if the hype around Dewey Cox is true or not.

The lowest review we’ve seen yet was 4 out of 5 stars and currently rottentomatoes.com has it at an alarming 100% fresh review rate!

Here’s what the critics are saying:

In a spoof that contests all the visual and thematic cliches of Hollywood musical biopics, from Elvis to Buddy Holly to Ray and Walk the Line, Reilly finally gets a lead role, which he plays with gusto from age 14 (that’s part of the joke) to seniority. - Emanuel Levy

The tricky thing about parody movies is that the jokes get old fast and they’re hit-and-miss. Walk Hard is guilty on both counts. How lucky that when the jokes do hit, they kick major ass.
- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

You can catch the first 10 min of the movie now in a recent post we did here - Link, as well as a pretty funny commercial for “Cox Sausage” below. “It doesn’t say Cox, unless I say it taste like Cox!”

John C Reilly, playing Dewey Cox, has been shining in many great films like Tenacious D and Talladega Nights. It is no wonder he already has two more films in the can scheduled for a 2008 release, one of which has his friend Will Ferrell, as well as three additional movies in pre-production.

Additionally John C Reilly continues to work on online shorts like the popular “Green Team” which stars Will Ferrell, and Adam McKay. The group runs around and physically and verbally assaults people, who could be a little more eco-friendly.
