...this kind of comedy may not be for everyone. But for people like me who lived the music and its stars of the 50s, 60s and 70s, it is a must see. Even though it is a comedic send up of biopics like Walk The Line, Ray, etc., it really nails the look and feel of the times it covers. But it is an outright send up and never lets you forget it. John C. Reilly as Johnny Cash ? Ray Charles ? Roy Orbison, or whoever, had me laughing my ass off. Those of you in your 30s may not like it, but I really think anyone in their 40s, 50s, 60s or even 70s like me, will really get a charge out of it. The comedy is not your everyday brand. It sort of falls into the Monty Python variety. And everything else aside, though the lyrics were a hoot, the original music for this film was pretty darn good.
:T for some.
PS: I've added this cautionary PS. The Blu-ray version ( and I assume the standard dvd is the same ) contains several nude scenes, and several male frontal nude scenes, so it's not appropriate for family viewing.
