Daniel Radcliffe is “Weird Al” Yankovic in the unexaggerated true story about the greatest musician and sex symbol of our time. The film also stars Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna and Rainn Wilson as Dr. Demento. From the big screen to Broadway, the telling of music stars’ lives is all the rage. Now comes the outrageous biopic of the unique artist who gained fame and fortune by parodying hit songs. A true-life story about the man who turned twisting popular lyrics into a hugely successful career had to be equally twisted, befitting the man, the myth, the legend known to the world as “Weird Al” Yankovic.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is a nice parody of musical biopics about a man who spent his career making musical parodies, but I'd probably be reluctant to recommend it to anyone who isn't at least partially familiar with Al's work. And for those familiar, it may not be as funny as many would expect in advance, but despite a few deaf spots it offers a good portion of entertainment and some very good cameo roles.
