Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)
description written by member Zara:
The up-and-down-and-up-again story of musician Dewey Cox (John C. Reilly), whose songs would change a nation. On his rock 'n roll spiral, Cox sleeps with 411 women, marries three times, has 22 kids and 14 stepkids, stars in his own 70s TV show, collects friends ranging from Elvis to the Beatles to a chimp, and gets addicted to – and then kicks – every drug known to man... but despite it all, Cox grows into a national icon and eventually earns the love of a good woman – longtime backup singer Darlene (Jenna Fischer).

"Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story", written by Apatow...

I went to see this movie with a couple friends. We've been quoting the trailer for weeks, so why not go see the movie?

Dewey Cox knows the blues. From a childhood accident that left his brother cut in half to two failed marriages, from a father who shuns him to an evil addiction to drugs, Dewey feels the blues. This is his story.
Sounds like a biopic like Walk The Line doesn't it? Well, if you have been hiding under a rock the last few...
