Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

December 26th 2007 10:06

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is an upcoming comedy film expected to be released on December 21, 2007. The film received an R rating from the MPAA for sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use and language. Judd Apatow, who directed The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, co-wrote and produced the film. The Australian release date is January 24th, 2008.

America loves larger-than-life musician and songwriter Dewey Cox (John C. Reilly)! But behind the music is the up-and-down-and-up-again story of a musician 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).

The trailer for Walk Hard is below:
