Sid R A partial biopic of Weird Al with a bit of mockumentary thrown in for good measure. It also has a number of music videos which were produced and directed for this film which were released at a later date - making good use of the MTV generation for parody fodder. A must watch for fans of Al, as well as some notable cameos from industry heads and his family. You could say the newer mockumentary is an up-to-date version of this, with a few whistles and bells added on for fun and giggles. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/25 Full Review Audience Member Its a mockumentary in the vein of spinal tap but actually runs down his life in a lot of ways where spinal tap was a fake band. Its funny because AL, but it sprinkles in his real life history of going to college for architecture, his parents thinking it was a good idea to take up the accordion(and without that there would be no weird al), his college radio days, and how he got into radio via Dr. Demento. Its a great insight to his comedy and person while still having a mockumentary tone. Its a great sort of documentary of his life to that date with voiceovers that make it the mockumentary. Fan or not, its worth a watch. As is UHF. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
