'Weird: The Al Yankovic Story' is a perfect parody, and the less you know going in, the better
is going for something different. Much like Yankovic’s songs, it’s so convincingly sincere that it took me nearly half the movie to realize Yankovic, who wrote and produced, was doing exactly what he does for music: taking the skeleton of something familiar and filling it out with his own silly material.is a parody , but I must give credit where credit is due: The movie’s promotion made absolutely no mention of the fact that the entire thing is thoroughly fictional.
moment when our struggling-musician protagonist hits upon a now-iconic sound, the music label bigwigs who tell him he’ll never make it, and the downward spiral into celebrity assholery and substance abuse.’s universe, a Weird Al parody can skyrocket a song to the top of the charts, and the central plot revolves around Al’s romance with Madonna , who hatches an evil plan to convince him to parody “Like a Virgin” even though he wants to start writing original songs.
