Knocked up hurriedly you feel in between Apatows other
Knocked up hurriedly, you feel, in between Apatows other projects, Walk Hard DVD is the feted writer-producers first fumble. As Spinal Taps Nigel Tufnel might have put it, this one only goes to two-and-a-half. Tone is crucial here, and Kasdan and Apatow manage a good balance, delivering silly and often crude comedy combined with sincere performances and a sense of smart craft. this is the best batch of songs written for a comedy since Paul Williams penned the tunes for Ishtar. Another comedy winner if you have to ask why, it’s because it involves the Knocked Up guy. Hilarious ? even the Beatles bit, this looks set to be a hit. Theres a laziness to the entire affair, as if the writers never went further than a first draft and never found anything unfunny enough to trim or remove. This is a glorious tribute to the Shape-Shifter, a film that captures all the clich?s of the musical biopic, then rises above them.
