Review of Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022) by Gumdrop — 04 Nov 2022
At no point ever have I looked at Daniel Radcliffe and thought "You know who this guy reminds me of? Weird Al." And he still doesn't. He basically looks like a guy who dressed up as Weird Al for Halloween. No wait. He looks like Harry Potter dressed up as Weird Al for Hogwarts Halloween.
Apparently Radcliffe was really singing so it didn't look like lip-synching but with Weird Al doing the actual vocals. But it somehow looks even more like lip-synching.
Personally I had a brief stint in the 80s/90s where I enjoyed Weird Al. So I found the movie amusing at best. I think you'd probably have to be more of a fan to really appreciate it. The movie itself isn't bad and there's some mildly amusing stuff. I mean it's an ok watch but for me it wasn't something I'll remember in a week and not something I'd watch again.
