Review of Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022) by Jluis_001 — 05 Nov 2022
This is not a normal biopic, nor does it seek to be one. Kudos for that.
It's unbelievably goofy but for the sake of humor. It's not trying to be dumb for the sake of it, because believe me, this film could have gone that route without any problem, but it chooses to work under better rules and mostly because its leading man Daniel Radcliffe gives himself completely to the role and keeps everything focused on what this story wants to do and achieves it with astounding ease.
Perhaps ultimately the film will mean nothing, even to his career, but clearly, he continues to prove with work, that his commitment is more than laudable, and his work is the best thing about this film and the main reason to see it for those who have no idea who Weird Al Yankovic is.
Needless to say that if you do know, the movie is a must see.
