It is a film that is outrageous, wild, and self-assured enough in its ridiculousness. It’s funny, strange, adorable, and even a little bit dark. Eric Appel and Weird Al Yankovic were responsible for directing the amusing biopic about the quirky singer who rose to fame for changing the words to other artists’ songs and rewriting them. A dramatization of Yankovic’s life would have been extremely detrimental to his career. It is a biopic that fans won’t see anywhere else this year.
