    Weird Al parodies abound!

    Fans of the Weird one will love this. The plot is shocking, the jokes are rubbish (in a good way) and the acting average at best but this is a great way to spend an hour and a half without your brain! The best thing about the film is when Yankovic does what he does best - parodies. Gandhi II, Conan the Librarian, Indiana Jones, Dire Straits videos and Rambo segues are piss your pants funny.

    However funny Yankovic is, the film is really a comedy showcase for the bloke who went on to play Kramer in Seinfeld, who plays the slightly backward possibly retarded janitor of the station.

    How to make you laugh without being vulgar

    If you are into the 80s and have a sense of humour, this film is a silly comedy about songs, movies and shows that were in the 80s.

    Weird Al is a talented comedian specialised in changing famous songs into an intelligent but silly version and for his polke dance of course :P

    My boyfriend and I had fun watching this.
