That just doesn't even make sense. I feel he would have made a better choice.

I don't think he's doing it for the money if you believe this:

I was going to say that having countless better options was likely the point. It's Wierd Al. Lmao

 

[radioguy6]

I'm in but even Paul Rudd's halloween costume was better than this. Needs the iconic glasses!

 

[VenomInside]

Should have gone with paul rudd based on the above.

Weird Al is a treasure. I love his parodies, white & nerdy, it’s all about the pentiums… etc

And his Polkarama mix.

Huge Weird Al fan. I believe the same people involved in the movie are from the Funny or Die bit from years ago.

I'd say he pulls it off pretty well.

"dude I've got chills"

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I'm going to enjoy this.



*if you can find them, look for the old game show @Midnight with Chris Hardwick where Weird Al is a guest. You'll see another side of him you wouldn't expect.

So Weird Al also stars in his own movie as the exec producer or some other corporate suit? Awesome.

And Evan Rachel "WOULD" as Madonna? Yes please.

 

[Fish]

I mean, I don’t know and anything crazy could happen, but would Madonna REALLY want to bang Weird Al? I know nothing except his songs are funny and Alternative Polka is low key the funniest don’t at me.

Its a joke in the synopsis that's its a not so true to life story. So I wouldn't count on accuracy for the real world in this movie.

 

[Fish]

Ok. Makes sense.

Of course I went down the rabbit hole and this might be my new favorite song and reaction to it. More cause it is pretty on point with the truth of the subject. Lol.

Interesting article from interviewing both Yankovic and Radcliffe. Roku gave Yankovic just 18 days to shoot the whole thing...

When Weird Al Yankovic Met Daniel Radcliffe, Things Got … Well, You Know

For their decidedly nonfactual rock biopic, the pop-music parodist and the “Harry Potter” star found themselves on the same wavelength.

www.nytimes.com

"With Radcliffe on board, Roku picked up the movie. But the company agreed to only 18 days of filming, which made for an incredibly tight schedule on a project in which he had to perform several musical numbers (lip-syncing Yankovic’s original vocals), as well as execute a couple of action sequences.

“On ‘Potter,’ one of those scenes could take 16 days,” Radcliffe said."

It's free on Roku without any membership. I personally loved it. If you know Weird Al's songs you'll pick up on more jokes here and there, but the whole movie is completely insane. If you like movies that are funny for being bad and stupid then you'll enjoy this. Daniel Radcliff was a perfect choice for the role. Otherwise, there is a reason it's free without any membership.

I've also been singing "Ma ma ma myyyyyy bologna" for the last three days .

Watched this last night finally.

Man, it was entertaining. I laughed out loud many times.

Very absurd but great movie.

 

[WhiteKnuckle]

Ok, this was the funniest shit I’ve seen in a long time. I felt like I was high watching it the whole time.
