We've done it before and we're doing it again! Yep, we're showing 'Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story' at Avalon Theater on Wednesday, April 15. The 2007 film traces the amazing (and entirely fictional) life of Dewey Cox—played by John C. Reilly at his finest—in a parody of early 2000s musical biopics like Walk The Line and Ray.
Written by Judd Apatow and Jake Kasdan (who also directed the film), Walk Hard finds Reilly sharing the stage and screen with an unthinkably stacked cast of comic actors, including: Jenna Fischer, Kristen Wiig, Tim Meadows, Chris Parnell, Harold Ramis, Craig Robinson, Martin Starr, both Jack Black AND Jack White, Paul Rudd, Ed Helms, Justin Long, Jane Lynch, Jonah Hill, Jack McBrayer, and Jason Schwartzman. The film also features cameos from musicians like Lyle Lovett, Ghostface Killah, Jackson Browne, Jewel, and Eddie Vedder.
Walk Hard has caught with audiences in the 19 years since its release en route to achieving cult comedy status. Whether you want to see it again or you’re itching to catch it on the big screen for the very first time, you’re cordially invited to join us for this rare opportunity to see Walk Hard in theaters. Get those tickets NOW. As always, this 7 p.m. screening is sponsored by Lakefront Brewery, Gruber Law Offices, and Skilos: A Family Pet Store.
BUT THERE’S MORE!!! Immediately after the movie, we’ll be heading over to Sugar Maple for a “Post Credit” event. From 9-11 p.m., you can enjoy drink specials on WYNK, a Walk Hard playlist, activities inspired by the film, and a performance by Pete from Ladybird. There’s no cover for the 21+ Post Credit event, just stop by and hang out with us!
