MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
America loves Dewey Cox! But behind the music is the up-and-down-and-up-again story of a musician whose songs would change a nation. On his rock 'n roll spiral, Cox sleeps with 411 women, marries three times, has 22 kids and 14 stepkids, stars in his own '70s TV show, collects friends ranging from Elvis to the Beatles to a chimp, and gets addicted to--and then kicks--every drug known to man. But despite it all, Cox grows into a national icon and eventually earns the love of a good woman--longtime backup singer Darlene.

There are three flavors of musical biopics.
One type ends with a plane crash (to contrast the mortality of man with the immortality of song). The second ends with a drug overdose (to slam home the moral of how creation and destruction are flip sides of the LP of life). The third ends with a post-rehab career rebound (all the better to applaud the unkillable artistic spirit).
