Owner of a Weird Al Shirt *to the tune of Owner of a Lonely Heart* Probably the worst Hulk Hogan ever put on screen and Hulk Hogan has been on screen.

In an overstuffed awards season, Weird outshines fellow contenders like Elvis and Tar by playing it grounded, seeking the complex human frailty of its players by honing in on just the facts and events. From the debauched polka parties of his youth (leave young kids at home) to his booze-filled affair with one-hit-wonder and Interpol most-wanted Madonna, Weird wisely finds fidelity by investigating the truely true inspirations of Al’s greatest creative achievements. A real vision of a visionary.

The greatest biopic of all time. RIP Weird Al. You were truly the weirdest.

Not very rewatchable once you've seen the twists. Then again, music biopics aren't really my thing so this parody of the genre was notable. Daniel Radcliffe is too distinctive for me to get lost in his Weird Al character. The cameos are distracting as well, since the camera would keep panning over to the cameo. I really liked how the friends were so supportive from the beginning. Fav scenes: "not the technically best, but the most famous accordion player in a very specific genre"

I grew up listening to Weird Al, and he was the first person I ever saw in concert. I'm so excited this movie came out. It's a hilarious jab at the Oscar-bait musician biopics of late.
