Weird: The Al Yankovic Story Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin WardJuly 6, 2025Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, though perhaps not technically the best and arguably not the most famous movie in an extremely specific genre of films, it’s an exceptionally fun watch, incredibly clever, and well worth checking out. The humor is self referential, simultaneously self reverential and self deprecating, and managed to subvert my expectations at every turn. Throw everything you thought you knew about the late, great, devil’s squeeze box player and enjoy this ridiculous ride.
- MischaDecember 14, 2024A truer story has not been told.
- CookiesForDevoJanuary 23, 2025Everything in this movie is 100% factually true. No fluff, no exaggerations, no dramatic license. Just pure legendary history.
- SolarfinderJune 29, 2025just like weird Al yankovic, the story is both unbelievable and funny at the same time. there were aspects of the story that were true, yet the extraordinary effort they yankovic took to hide and mass the true emotions and feeling during the whole story was quite impressive
- GrimeFiVideoMay 27, 2025The truest of all true stories.
- Patrick and NancyApril 1, 2025Silly and outlandish but very Weird Al.
- Tarra SamaMarch 6, 2025It was mediocre and a bleh. Dan is a great actor but this movie was a flop. Weird al shouldn't have signed off on this.
- 匚卂尺ㄥJanuary 30, 2025🪗PLOT... Explores every facet of Yankovic's life, from his meteoric rise to fame with early hits like 'Eat It' and 'Like a Surgeon' to his torrid celebrity love affairs and famously depraved lifestyle. Not many people know who weird Al Yankovic is today apart from the hardcore fans who listened to his classic songs that were mainly famous throughout the 80's and the 90's, Weird Al mainly re-writes famous songs sung by famous pop singers and rock stars and turns them into silly and hilarious parodies! He famously is know also for his passion of playing the Accordion which he plays on many of his albums, he's done songs by many famous people including Madonna, Michael Jackson, Queen, and even turned American pie into a song about Star Wars. A very funny comedian who has starred in previous movies like UHF and cameoed in other popular comedies like Naked gun. The new movie is absolutely hilarious from beginning to end, its a highly exaggerated parody of his real life with a long list of amazing stars such as Daniel Radcliffe, Jack Black, Rainn Wilson, Evan Rachel Wood and even the real Weird Al himself plays a character, the movie is original and funny and is a must watch its a breath of fresh air, and it'll even make you look up the years of music Weird Al has made over the years and find some fun in that.
