Walk Hard- funny or not?
I thought it was funny. But then again I have a silly sense of humor.

2. Okay, but I'm glad I waited for the rental.
There were two parts in it where I laughed my ass off, though.

10. Two parts:
1. When Dewey is in rehab, and he says, "I'm so cold!" and the doctor says, "Quick gives this man some blankets!" And then you see him say, "I'm so hot!" and the doctor says, "Quick, take these blankets off this man!" And then you see him say, "I'm so hot and cold at the same time" and the doctors says, "Quick give this man some blankets and then take them off!"

2. At the very end, where Dewey sees the ghosts of his mom, dad and brother in the corner of the stage. Then you see his manager in the audience and he suddenly has a heart attack and dies. And then you see the manager's ghost get shoved onto the stage with the mom, dad and brother.

Stupid stuff, but I liked it.

12. Oh yeah, I forgot about the blanket part.
The whole movie was pretty much stupid stuff, but that is what tickles me.

3. It had its moments. It's better than any Will Ferrell crap.

7. i didn't like it at all
i turned it off about 45 minutes into it because i disliked it so much. i thought i would like it since it was made by the same guy that made the 40 year old virgin, talladega nights, and knocked up(all of which i liked), but i just didn't.

8. Some people I know thought it sucked. The more I watched it, the
funnier it became to me.

15. I thought it was very funny

"I've been halved!"

I am trying to think of occasions where I can use that.

It pretty much hit every cliche of every biopic made. The whole drug thing was hilarious.

The Beatles scene was pretty funny.

17. Not
Edited on Wed May-28-08 04:59 PM by Beaverhausen
I tried, and I stayed with it the whole time. But in the end I thought it missed the mark. Could have been great. Especially with all those fun cameos.

19. I'm half-way through enjoying it
I had to pause it at the Yellow Submarine segment to check on something for work. The songs are so well done that they nearly ruin the satirical effect.
