Al could tell me the world is round and that cats never land on their feet when tossed off a building and I would believe him. This was a way better representation of Al's life, the movie "Weird" the Al Yankovic story was just a fake retelling of what I just watched here.

It never reaches the heights of “UHF” or the Daniel Radcliffe movie, but it still has plenty here for Weirdos. No one does good humor quite as well as him.

There are few movies that really get me a-chucklin’ and Weird Al made two of them and this one is actually one of those two. It genuinely saddens me that so many losers think of Al just as “the guy that does parody songs” when his genius extends far beyond improving lyrics.
