While the film itself is little more than a cheap shot at every other musical biography, it provides viewers with many nostalgic moments of the industry’s greatest artists. Dewey Cox - a fictional icon – is a hard rocker with a penchant for trying out different women; drugs and various styles of music. His peculiar relationship with Hassidic Jews brings freakish absurdity to the film, but the comedic element of The Dewey Cox story is seriously lacking. The producers of SuperBad and Knocked Up could have done a whole lot better that this slice of mediocrity.
