    Had me laughing like a retard...

    by Jaycee5

    ?WALK HARD? isn?t going to change the world. It isn?t a ?thought provoking social commentary and a wake up call for America?. ?WALK HARD? is what a movie should be...entertaining. And entertaining it is. Laugh out loud funny with a couple of scenes that will make you genuinely uncomfortable...in a good way.

  • So-so

    Walk...back to your car

    I found this movie to be just ok. Some of the songs were funny, but the movie, not so much. I found it to be a waste of time.

  • Must Go!

    Funnier than expected

    I am kind of a comedy snob. But this movie made me laugh out loud on several occasions.

    If you want to see light-hearted and fun, without being stupid, I would definitely go see Walk Hard.
