I love how this movie is so relevant to music biopics it predicted the future even with the new Elvis movie. Truly comedy movies like this are once in a lifetime.
This was a parody of the Walk the Line, Johnny Cash biopic starring Joaquin Phoenix which came out a year or two early, but with the recent run of biopics it's returned to relevance, they're all the same.
@@underthetrees4780 It's a parody of the whole genre. Every second of the movie is parodying a different biopic. Walk the line is the most explicitly parodied, but there's so much more to the movie than just that one film being parodied.
You know this is based on fact with one of the musicians from back in the day I think the ring of fire guy he knocked up like his twelve-year-old cousin I think
True, the formulaic music biopic is mocked to death in this movie but yet it's always repeats, even in Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman. This movie is miles better than them.
Walk the Line was really good, but that was PURELY because of Joaquin Phoenix' performance (well, the majority of the cast was good/great, but Phoenix is, well, he's one of the best actors in hollywood right now IMO) without him the movie would be completely forgotten because, its true, it fits the music biopic mold perfectly, didnt switch it up enough imo Straight Outta Compton is pretty much the best music bio tho
Watched this movie 50 times and then I've watched the Elvis movie. Elvis in the scene in his pink suit at the beginning is almost the same as this scene. So good
I remember the Summer before my senior year in high school. One of my friends put this movie on and that day it became a top 10 comedy forever to stay in my list.
This actor shows up on Gotham as a dark mentor character to the young Bruce Wayne and every time he talked I wanted him to say “wrong Wayne died” but alas
@@2ndarmoredhellonwheels106 I believe that's what this scene is about. They took a lot from when Rock n Roll first came out and how people were reacting to it.
I can’t remember if I already posted this, but those three girls ripping their blouses… The last one really wanted to make the most out of that scene and it was awesomely funny 😄 God! I love this movie!
I LOVE this film. John c Reilly really is a good singer.. Before this film, i knew he was talented on the drums when he was sasquatch; the unofficial drummer for tenacious D
"You will never get anything but unconditional love and support from me. For you and your dreams" Literally next scene "You're never guna make it Dewey" god damn this is definitely in the top 3 comedies of all time
How many takes did the actor playing the minister need for his line, “You know who's got hands? The devil! And he uses ‘em for holdin’”? It looks like he’s starting to smile right at the end, almost about to break character. Quite frankly, even one successful take of a line like that would be a major accomplishment!
What makes me pissed about this scene is there's still people out there today, not just parents and priests, but anti music protesters who say that rock is devil's music. Answer me this, if they claim rock is devil music, the why is there religious rock, or christian rock to be exact?
Believe it or not, there's people who say even Christian rock is the devils music. Not to name names but **cough cough** Jimmy Swaggart **cough cough**
0:21 Girl in the middle looks like Lea Thompson who played Lorraine in Back to the Future. It's mostly the haircut and eyebrows, different jawline. Same eyes.
