Billed as a biopic spoof, it turned out to be much more original that expected. John C. Reilly, an underrated comic actor stars as Dewey Cox, a singer who comes of age in the 1950s start of rock n' roll and has a storybook rise/fall/rise in the general story of Johnny Cash. Along the way he checks in Forrest Gump-style to every event along the way.
Best part was the original music. That time of the 00s had a lot of music creativity along with similar comedic movies Get Him to the Greek and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Also it was quite a star-making turn for just about every actor of the day: Jack Black, Jenna Fischer, Ed Helms, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson and all the other Judd Apatow favorites.
Directed by Jake Kasdan and co-written with him and Judd Apatow.
Proudly R-rated!
