Default Walk Hard - Worth Watching?

I got about 30 minutes into Walk Hard and then had to shut it off because it seemed stupid. Does it come around, is it worth watching the rest??

Its really bad. Save yourself and do something better with your time.

I found it subscribed to the 'shotgun' theory of humour. Unleash 10 000 jokes in 90 minutes and at least a hundred will be funny.

I saw it in the theatre expecting good things but I only laughed once. Waste of time.

I didn't mind it, but then again, I really enjoyed Kung-Pow...

I thought it was awful. The only saving grace was Jack White's Kung-Fu Elvis.

It did have its moments. Tim Meadows cracked me up a few times. But if you didnt like it for the first thirty mins its pretty much more of the same.

I for one came in with low expectations of this movie and was pleasantly suprised.

I thought it was pretty funny, but as mentioned if you didn't like the first 30 minutes then you are unlikely to like the rest.

Certainly better than a lot of the "so-called" good movies out there i.e. No Country for Old Men or Juno.

I've described it as a movie written for Will Ferrell but he declined because it was too stupid. I'm not saying that's what really happened, but it sure seems like it. So, if you don't like Will's worst stuff it ain't worth it.

Who mentioned Kung Pao? Great movie!

Speaking of wastes of time, I just got finished watching Cloverfield.

Awful, awful movie.

Walk Hard didn't bother me really, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

It's only worth watching if you cannot reach the remote and not watching would mean having to get up and you are so hungover that you would vomit if you attempt to move.

I hate when that happens - "Daddy Day Camp" I will always loathe the time I spent begging for a power outage during your broadcast.

I'm with you. I found myself laughing at several different parts.
