Throughout the history of art in film, nothing surpasses the insulating passion of Yankovic. The Appel of my eye, the direction surpasses both Godfathers; the cinematography makes Lawrence of Arabia look like it took 18 days to film, so shallow there, but not in Riege land; finally, the music score is a mix of Mozart and Madonna. Wowza!!
You'll love the intermix of passion juxtaposed with the angst of the artist on a quest to find one's roots. Accordions indeed.
This will easily earn the best picture Oscar® to say nothing of Yankovic's original screenplay. And, Radcliffe hasn't been this superior since Potter 2. And, when I get a chance, I'll actually see the film. ;-)

Not So Spoofy
The Spoof Comedy We Deserve
An absolute riot of hilarious spoof & parody comedy about "Weird" Al Yankovic's 100% true exciting and wildly outrageous life story. Daniel Radcliffe transcends into Al and guides us through this heart wrenching insane, delightful story. This film is full of amazing performances from all cast and is packed with fun, surprising cameos. It's been a while since a parody spoof comedy that was this well crafted, and this one delivers. Eric Appel & Al Yankovic wrote one heck of a script that does not miss a beat, each scene carrying into the next and surprising the audience each step of the way. This film, in my opinion, deserves some kind of a theatrical run. It's way too much fun with a crowd.
