History YMMV / WalkHard

* TearJerker: It's a comedy, but realizing that Dewey passed away right after his final performance is really heartbreaking.
** But at least he was able to sing his masterpiece.

** That said, the commentary reveals that the filmmakers were a little wary of making Dewey as promiscuous as he was in that version, as it made him [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic less sympathetic]].

** After [[BlackComedy accidentally cutting himself in half]] while fighting Dewey, his dad realized his mistake blaming Dewey for his brother's death. He tries to tell Dewey he loves him, but [[KilledMidSentence Died Mid-Sentence]].

** Paul Rudd, Jack Black, Justin Long and Jason Schwartzman as bickering John Lennon, Paul Mccartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

* HilariousInHindsight: ''Series/{{Justified}}'' fans usually get a kick out of the fact Ma and Pa Cox are [[Creator/MargoMartindale Mags Bennett]] and [[Creator/RaymondJBarry Arlo Givens]].

* OneSceneWonder: Jack White as a [[CrazyAwesome]] Elvis Presley yelling about karate.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: A naked roadie listening in on Dewey and his dad's conversation.
** The entire "Let's Duet" sequence.
** "I'm guilty as charged...'Guilty As Charged'..."
*** "Don't you DARE write a song right now, Dewey!!!"
** Dewie's first night of withdrawal: he screams that he's freezing, and the nurse orders more blankets. Then he screams that he's on fire and the nurse orders fewer blankets. Then he screams that he's hot and cold at the same time. See where this is going...
** Dewey and the band rap with Music/TheBeatles in India. The Beatles gradually turn on each other, then Dewey takes some LSD and imagines being in a ''Yellow Submarine'' style animation.
** Dewey finally kicking drugs, declaring that he'll no longer give into the temptations. Guess which vocal group is waiting for him downstairs.

* SoOkayItsAverage: The fact that this movie came out in an era bloated by SeltzerAndFriedberg's [[ShallowParody "Movie Movies"]] probably hurt it critically, but it was still only considered one of the "better" post-''[[Film/TheNakedGun Naked Gun]]'' spoof movies.
