WALK HARD is easily the most under appreciated movie to come out in the last few years. I really, honestly believe it's a master piece - and much more affecting that the movies it parodies in its own, odd way.

I would like to see a Dave Enkosky review of that movie.

I definitely agree about Walk Hard. When I first saw the trailer, I thought it looked like it would be only slightly better than one of those Friedberg/Seltzer spoof movie abominations. Nevertheless, because I was a fan of all those involved in Walk Hard, I decided to give it a shot.

I don't know if it was because my expectations were so rock bottom, but I absolutely loved it. I was floored by what a terrible misrepresentation of the movie the trailer was.

I also enjoy Walk Hard much more than any the movies it spoofed (Of course, I'm not much of a fan of bio-pics).

More than anything, I was blown away by the songs. Rarely do spoof songs feel this spot on. I really fought the urge to post every song from this movie.

Maybe I should write a review of this movie at some point.
