It opened last night and I was wondering if anyone had comments about Ed's cameo!
I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.

Eddie's cameo was great... but i hate to say this... some girl yelled out during the scene "who's that"?
I just looked at my wife and laughed. Kids today.
i agree about the movie. i had low expectations, though, so it wasn't a HUGE disappointment, but still not as funny as i'd hoped. the bob dylan parody was funny though. and it was awesome to see ed's cameo.
i was actually a little surprised they had no mention of eddie's name. i feel like there are a lot of 13 year old kids who wouldn't have a clue who he is...

And some a lot older than 13 man.. his 'look' is so different than it was back then, I wonder if people wouldn't recognise him anyway who would've done otherwise.
I thought his name was in the trailer? 'Thankyou Eddie Vedder'?
- the great Sir Leo Harrison
i thought so, too, but they cut that out....
and to answer Black1991, his cameo is only about 1 or 2 minutes. definitely not longer than 2. but it was a thrill for me too see him on the big screen! : )

There are people older then 13 who don't know who Ed is. My mate argued with me once in a pub that not many people would know who Ed was. Im only 21 so i asked people similar to my age and i asked half a dozen people and they didnt know. So my response was "Have u been living under a rock.... he is from Pearl jam dude"

most of my freinds in their 20's know who eddie vedder is, and almost all of them don't even listen to pearl jam at all really.

I swear I think every cast member of the 40 Year Old Virgin was in that thing.
well, of course it's stupid. It's supposed to be stupid. But it's also some pretty witty spoof of the music business.
You've got this guy who started as a country singer morphing into a dylan-esque protest singer, and a disco dude, etc, etc.
I thought it was pretty decent in that respect. It didn't go for the cheap, dirty laugh as much as other Apatow movies ... except for the prolonged male frontal nudity shots, I guess.
for the least they could possibly do
Tim Meadows: "Dewey you don't want no part of this shit..."
Lol at Tim always getting him addicted to different drugs.
The Ed part was pretty funny "He's been called the giant midget". He also referenced Neil Young and various other rock stars (Iggy Pop etc.) and compared them with Biblical figures.
Overall a kind of slow comedy (no where near as funny as Superbad) but still really funny in parts.
Thank god for those blankets. Ha.
And so it goes...
When Eddie came on i just yelled YEAAAA, and my friend yelled out EDDIEE
Tim Meadow must do another Ladies Man movie. He must. "Dewey, you don't want no part of this shit." hahahaha.
In the original trailer Dewey responds to Ed by saying, "thank you Mr. VEEder."
it didnt make the cut i guess for the film.
in one of the trailer's i saw earlier this summer, dewey says "well thank you eddie veeeder."---i guess they cut that part out! sons of bitches
they also cut the part when we was advertising the sausages. "if it doesn't say cox. then it doesn't taste like cox"
hahahah
You know what? I liked Superbad. I almost think Walk Hard was funnier. I dunno. I like how completely self-aware WH is. Like, obviously, John C. Reilly could never pass for a teenager, so they keep reminding you how old he is in the dialogue. "I think I'm doing pretty well for a 15-year-old with a wife and a kid." Even though he looks 37.
I also like how he refers to almost every famous person by their full name.
"Hey there, Buddy Holly."
"Great set, Elvis Presley."
"What do you think, George Harrison of the Beatles?"
As if the audience wouldn't know who it was supposed to be without Dewey Cox name dropping.
I guess I'm just entertained by some really offbeat shit.
And, yeah, the Tim Meadows scenes were great.
"It's the cheapest drug on Earth. But you don't want none of this shit."
for the least they could possibly do
"You never even paid for drugs. Not once."
funny, I thought the exact opposite thing. I thought it wasn't over the top enough. If they really wanted to goof on an ed introduction, they should have done a time lapse (hours have passed) and show people in the audience sleeping and rolling their eyes. as it is, it's kind of used to give cred to the mythology of dewey cox.
the movie was okay. the music is awesome, John c. reily is fantastic and tim meadows steals every scene he's in (as usual).
