Much like the filmography of Quentin Tarantino, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story cannot be rated by the same criteria as other movies. It's an almost completely fabricated account of "Weird" Al Yankovic's life story, and it plays it almost completely straight... And it's hilarious!
The writing gives off the same kind of vibe as Al's previous film, UHF with how simplistic yet efficient the dialogue is, and how high of heights the absurdity reaches. This movie is crazy. It feels like a fever dream, and even if the sheer amount of weirdness isn't 100 percent my cup of tea, at least 60 percent of it is. And if you can tolerate at least that much weird, you'll probably have a good time watching this.
