Dead Cant Rant

Apatow puts together a brilliant send-up of the recent epic biopics of famous musicians Ray Charles and Johnny Cash. After laughing your ass off in every scene and at every song, watch the making-of extras on the DVD and you’ll really see how deep this movie was. As the man said, they had to force themselves to stop because they were making a 3 1/2 hour long Dewey of Arabia.

I was pleasantly surprised because I was disgusted by the previews I’ve seen for other Apatow films such as Harold and Kumar and Knocked Up. We watched Superbad which was pretty “bad” (not as funny as Napoleon Dynamite but a million times more vulgar, and the only decent character was of course McLovin) but this one knocks it clean out of the park.

Do not let your kids anywhere near this movie. Other than that…

Verdict: Best damn epic music biopic parody with the best soundtrack. Ever.
