“Walk Hard” is full of great genre and era pastiche, and very funny. Reilly sells it, and many of the songs are written or co-written by my favorite modern folk artist, Dan Bern.

The other Bern release is a single that was released on Bandcamp back in the before-times, early to mid 2016. It imagined a world where he won the presidency and the lunacy that ensued. It was deleted from his catalog after the absurdity became a reality.

The brunette who gave Dewey his first puff of reefer... played one of the kids in Kindergarten Cop!

Dewey’s band is played by SNL alums Chris Parnell (1999-2012ish) and Tim Meadows (1991-2000) and SNL-adjacent improv legend Matt Besser (one of the founders of The Upright Citizens Brigade/the UCB improv training school)

Neither this nor “Music and Lyrics” (coincidentally another 2007 film!) had any business having such well crafted songs but damn if I’m not glad that they do

I remember going to see this in theaters as part of a sneak peak type thing. We even got a free promotional CD with like 3 songs on it
