If you’re thinking that Jake Kasdan’s 2007 film Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is just another pathetic parody movie of certain musical biopics–then you are fucking dead wrong. Walk Hard is an extravagant and a full-on Biopic about the fictional Dewey Cox and his epic quest (which spans almost 6 decades) to create his masterpiece.
On his rock and roll spiral, Dewey Cox sleeps with 411 women, marries three times, has 22 kids and 14 stepkids, stars in his own 70’s TV show, collects friends ranging from Elvis Presley to the Beatles to a chimp, and gets addicted to–and then kicks–every drug known to man.
Obviously, the main inspiration for Walk Hard is the 2005 Johnny Cash biopic, Walk The Line; but instead of sticking with just spoofing Johnny Cash, they threw a whole mix of other musicians which parallels certain aspects of Dewey’s life. Dewey Cox is like Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Brian Wilson, Bob Dylan, and Jim Morrison all rolled into one package.
