What? You say you never thought that?!? Well I guess I never really did either but now we know the answer to that question, it's this movie.
Weird is exactly what it says it is, weird. It should be known right away when going into this movie that everything is exaggerated and not remotely true, well minus a few small details. The movie is just flat out dumb at times but also brilliant in others. You get a lot of humor and cheap gags just like with Weird Al's music.
The film itself is nothing more than a satire biopic on the artist himself. I'll be honest, I had high hopes for this movie. I somewhat hoped it would be an accurate depiction on his life but instead Weird Al did what he does best, changed his whole life (just like another artists music), and made it weird...yet funny. I give him a lot of credit in making his life more interesting but it leaves a lot to be desired. You will see big time skips, sudden story arches, huge life events glanced over, and get some cheap laughs along the way. Go into this film without having high expectations and you may enjoy it. It's definitely better if you're a Weird Al fan and to be honest I'm not sure someone who isn't could get the film for what it is. Most movies don't life up to their name but this one does even if that sets it back in some ways. This movie in my opinion is a bit bland and unexciting but it has a special place in my heart for being so weird. I give it a 7 out of 10.
