Every Child of the 80s Should Watch This
Anyone expecting a serious biopic of Weird Al obviously has no idea who he is. I thought the movie was brilliant - true Weird Al fashion. I grew up on Dr. Demento and Weird Al, so this brought me back to my childhood in the best way possible. The acting was spectacular, the references hysterical, and the comedy completely hilarious. If you grew up with Weird Al, then you'll truly appreciate this movie. I cannot think of a better way to honor his legacy. I also cannot think of another 143 characters to write about, but that's what IMDB tells me I'll need before I can submit this. Did you know that in 1985.
