Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

The spoof is an artistically bankrupt genre. The whole point of every scene is to make the viewer say, "Oh, this is like that one movie, except here a few things are different." How is that funny? It's usually not. This film too is usually not funny. The most memorable moments are provided by -- a tad surprisingly -- Tim Meadows. And the rest of the movie just made me think about how incestuous the comedy scene is these days. It's the same jokes by the same actors over and over, and I wish they would try new people sometimes.
