weirdly anti-Madonna
David SimsNov 4, 2022“You just killed Pablo Escobar!” —Madonna to Weird Al Yankovic, somehow To be honest, I was expecting funny and clever, but I was not expecting a multi-layered brutally self-deprecating meta comedic masterpiece.
🥳 Benjamin 🎉Sep 8, 2022WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY turns the musical biopic on its head with an outrageously funny, not to be taken seriously parody. The best of its kind since Walk Hard. Daniel Radcliffe’s go-for-broke comedic performance easily ranks among his best. A wild riot of a good time…

Watched this high and it was so funny. Managed to gaslight a friend it was based on a true story
rainie likedWeird: The Al Yankovic Storywow there’s so much about weird al’s life i never knew
Garrett dislikedWeird: The Al Yankovic Story50 minutes in I looked over and @robin and I were both tuned out playing on our phones, not interested. Maybe I’ll revisit at a later time but this was a no go for us 🙅🏻♂️I like to think I’m a silly guy but this just didn’t do it for me

this just confirms everything i thought i knew about weird al: he’s incredibly talented, hilarious, super buff and everybody wants a piece of him, very true to life
Mitch dislikedWeird: The Al Yankovic StoryI thought this was suppose to be a recreation of how weird Al became the YouTube sensation. YouTube was never mentioned. He writes his own music? Becomes the biggest artist in the world? The cartel is involved? Glad he made some money off it but why did this come out in 2022?
JG911 is "meh" onWeird: The Al Yankovic Storyenjoyed the first part about the movie till the movie turned into a fiction craze of stupid nonsense.

Andrew Fink is "meh" onWeird: The Al Yankovic Story“Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” parodies Al’s rise to fame with gloriously absurd flair, spoofing biopic tropes like Walk Hard on an accordion bender. It’s self-aware, delightfully over-the-top, and packed with surprise celeb cameos. Could’ve dropped 30 minutes, but the commitment to nonsense makes…
Pooja lovedWeird: The Al Yankovic StoryAn absolute parody of musician biopics in pure Weird Al Yankovich style. There’s some truth to it but the sheer chaotic and unhinged nature of the entire film makes for such a worthwhile watch and I absolutely loved it. A mild dull moment towards the end but otherwise…phenomenal.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story does for the music biopic what the real Weird Al did for many a hit pop song: it makes fun of it, reveres it, remixes it, makes it weirder, and improves it.

Does it have moments of hilarity? Sure does. Does it run out of steam at times? Hell, yes. Is Appel a workmanlike director who mostly stays out of the way and lets his cast deliver the laughs? Yep, though he does try to get fancy a few times, with mixed results.

Eric Appel’s Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is relentlessly silly, wholesome at heart and so stuffed with cameos it might give you the idea that a couple of generations of cool people love this guy.
