| User ReviewWes SWhile this little mockumentary was made very early in Al's career, it still gives a pretty good insight on his origins- while still being a successful parody of other musician documentaries. There's plenty of laughs, behind the scenes footage (and off the scene), and a good number of music videos and AL TV segments. It's a pretty fun doc, even if you can't be too trusty of its information. |
| User ReviewJon HA Hilarious mockumentary about "Weird Al" Yankovic, complete with a fictionalized biography, (fake) behind the scenes footage of his career, and several of his music videos (up to the time of production, 1987, so no "UHF" or "Smells Like Nirvana"). If you can find it (stuck? Check bittorrent) by all means get it! |
| User ReviewKen SFunny moku/documentary about the life and times of Weird Al. It has some real facts about Al's life and career mixed in with some standard made up stuff in the Weird Al style of humor. It has plenty of funny moments but not nearly as solid as UHF. |
| User ReviewSpookie MQuite tedious. I like the videos but the "documentary part" goes on forever. |
| User ReviewWesley HDon't get me wrong, I adore Weird Al, but this was just...weird. |
