Underappreciated comedies like 'Walk Hard' and 'Popstar' are often more enjoyable to look back on than blockbusters
Walk Hard is a movie that made very little money. I think it's one of the funniest ones of all the ones we did...

It is always a bummer when you don't have the box office you were hoping for... but you want something to make people happy.
