The Dewey Cox persona borrows from several prolific figures in rock history: Bob Dylan,  Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Jim Morrison, Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis, Donovan, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, but mainly Johnny Cash. The plot echoes the storyline of 2005’s Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line; Walk Hard is also a parody of the biopic genre as a whole.

 Diggers is the story of two generations of hard-living clam diggers trying to maintain their way of life in the face of the enormous change.  

 Ads on the TV in the local bar announce “a change coming over America” with the upcoming Ford-Carter presidential election, but local clam diggers are more worried about losing their already-fragile trade to an encroaching corporation.

Paul Rudd as Hunt and his life-long friends Cons (Josh Hamilton), Frankie (Ken Marino), and Jack (Ron Eldard) are each forced to consider new directions in life.  

 A sudden death propels the four best friends to look at their lives, as it does for Hunt’s recently-divorced and older sister, Gina (Maura Tierney), who works as a waitress at the local diner.

Two salesmen, well into their 30s´ Wheeler (Seann William Scott) and Danny (Paul Rudd) work for Minotaur Energy Drinks and travel from school to school trying to persuade teens to gulp Minotaur and stay off of drugs.

One day their company truck is being towed for parking in a “No Parking” zone. They protest by trying to drive it away from the tow-truck, but they end up driving it up a statue in front of the school. After trashing the company truck, they are given a choice by the the court: do hard time or spend 150 service hours with a mentorship program.

 Meanwhile, charming Wheeler tries to trade in an addiction to partying and women to assist a fifth-grader named Ronnie redirect his foul-mouthed ways. It would probably help if Ronnie’s new mentor wasn’t an overgrown adolescent whose idea of quality time includes keggers in Venice Beach. Once the center’s ex-con director gives them an ultimatum, Danny and Wheeler are forced to tailor their brand of immature wisdom to their charges.
