Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
Fictional musician Dewey Cox skyrockets from humble beginnings in Springberry, Alabama and eventually gets caught up in the fame of rock and roll. He begins to hang out with the big time people such as Elvis Presley and the Beatles. Jenna Fischer plays his backup singer and second wife, Darlene. His was first married to his first wife Edith with whom he had many kids, but the marriage was over when she found Dewey about to have sex with Darlene. One of the pervasive themes of the movie is the fact that he accidentally cut his brother in half at the waist when he was a child (a reference to Johnny Cash’s older brother Jack, who was almost cut in half by a table saw and died from his injuries).
