The Weird Al parody biopic, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, is just what you'd imagine from a Weird Al movie starring a hilariously kinetic Daniel Radcliffe. aurora_amidon's review:
Alfred “Weird Al” Yankovic, gifted singer and accordion player, took the music world by storm in the 1970s by parodying well-known tracks. Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” became an ode to food called “Eat It;” Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” transformed into a medical anthem called “Like a Surgeon.” It only makes sense, then, that a Weird Al biopic be just as bizarre and eccentric as he is.
, but any joke that runs for an hour and 50 minutes is bound to get old eventually, and that’s exactly what happens here.’s commitment to the bit eventually gets tiresome. Perhaps its most vexing gag is Weird Al’s relationship with Madonna , which goes on for far too long. The butt of the joke is that Madonna wasn’ta money-grubbing moocher, and it would be shocking if she expressed a desire to be a drug lord.
