Weird: The Al Yankovic Story

Playing this 100% straight was the correct choice. Thought it was great.

Seems like just about every comedian ever did a cameo in this.

I was never a big Weird Al fan, but the humor would be exactly as you'd expect.

Ridiculous and hilarious. I'm only disappointed that they stopped short of White & Nerdy.

Some day this will be perhaps not technically the best movie, but it will arguably be the most famous comedy in an extremely specific genre of movies.

Lmao this was a very entertaining, 100% fully accurate movie of his life

Great movie. Ending during the credits was my favorite part. Had to relisten to the Gilbert Gottfried podcast when he interviewed Weird Al.

This movie was hilarious. Highly recommend it.

Yeah the call in the restaurant about Bad

I'm about halfway through and this is way more over the top. I love it

The last half is crazier

I really wanted them to double down on the Michael-Jackson-copying-him thing with Fat. The movie was getting long at that point, but I would have trimmed some earlier stuff and had him really beef with Michael. Throwing in Prince was a nice touch. (For those that don't know, Prince was one of the few musicians that denied Weird Al's request to parody him...he had at least 3 songs ready to go if Prince ever gave him the green light.)

He performed Beat On the Brat live at the show I went to last month. Front row center...literally felt like it was just Weird Al, myself, and his 2 guitarists jamming. Nobody else in the audience existed. I don't know how long he's going to keep doing this, but if that's the last time I see him in concert, it couldn't have been better.

This was even more outrageous than I expected. Loved it. It had some spots that could have been written/edited better, but overall enjoyable since I've been a huge Weird Al fan from the start.
