Johnny Cash fans, what do you think of Walk Hard?
I’m a huge Johnny Cash fan and I’m also a huge comedy fan. I love Will Ferell and movies like Anchorman and Ricky Bobby. But I’m not so sure the new movie coming out on Christmas – Walk Hard, is really that good.
Spoofs are funny, no doubt. But this movie is a spoof on Walk the Line which I thought was a great movie about Johnny Cash’s life. I even liked it more when I found out Cash and June Carter themselves had a large deal in planning things out so they were accurate information.
What I don’t like about the Dewey Cox story is that its making fun on two deceased men – Johnny Cash and Ray Charles. I understand it is a spoof and not to hurt anyone, but Cash was a legend and even the promotional posters for the movie mock Cash’s previous posters in the ’90s. I wasn’t really a huge fan of Ray like I was Walk the Line but I think mocking deceased men is not a good call and not very funny. What do you think so far of this movie?
Thanks.
I think Johnny would have approved actually, he had a good sense of humor.
It’s difficult to say without seeing the film but I kind of get the feeling they are paying more of an homage than an insult to Cash in Walk Hard. I doubt they’d bother spoofing him if they wernt fans.
