TheLeon Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Does this look “good”? Maybe not. But come November, I will absolutely be figuring out how to access whatever the Roku Channel is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 It looks amazing. Great idea to make the movie a parody of other biopics, and a parody of Weird Al's life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I thought the trailer was great. I do wonder if it will have the same problem a lot of parody movies have in that it would have been better as an SNL skit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The trailer made it seem like it had some heart to it despite being a parody so I think this one might work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 "Your dad and I agreed that it would be best if you just stop being who you are and doing the things you love" Ha. I liked some of the Walk Hard vibes it was giving off, but I dunno. Can this remain funny for an entire movie? Seems tonally all over the place, but it's a trailer, so who knows.

silentbob Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 It’s based off the Funny or Die trailer they did 9 years ago with Aaron Paul as Weird Al. They played this trailer below when I saw Weird Al in Aug 2019 during his Strings Attached Tour. Looks like they are keeping the same tone for the movie and I’m happy for it.

Reputator Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 You know, I had a feeling the casting of Daniel Radcliffe was actually a joke in itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Weird Al starred in one of the greatest movies ever made. And by that I mean, UHF. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Well, this was alright. I feel like I am missing the joke. Like, I know it is supposed to be basically a parody biopic. I watched it because it wasn't going be the "real story", but I still feel like I was missing the joke. I don't think that I am tho and that I just didn't find it all that funny. That said, comedies often aren't that funny to me so One thing that made it less funny for me was that I thought Danny boy would be speaking in British but he spoke in American.

"free" as in free but with 2 minutes of ads almost every 10 minutes and there is no ad free option at a cost first and last time I'll use Roku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Although Weird Al sent out a very useful tweet for those who don't want to use Roku. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 20 minutes ago, skillzdadirecta said: Damn, so it makes this probably 45 minute movie 2 and a half hours? Well the run time is 108 minutes, but I have no clue if that was with ads or not and it isn't exactly 10 minutes Pretty sure with ads it was nearly exactly 2 hours before the credits started rolling and I'm pretty sure I didn't sit thru 10 ad breaks, but there were enough. How it is filmed is that there are clear breaks, like a TV show that plans on commercials. Like, I think the first ad was 20 or so minutes in. Then there were at least 3 ad breaks that happened every 10 minutes, and then another one happened at 16 minutes after the last and then I stopped counting the ads.

Spork3245 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I enjoyed it. It's basically a parody of biopics in the way Weird Al parodies songs. If you go in not understanding that 99% of it is complete and ridiculous BS for the sake of being ridiculous BS then you won't enjoy it and will mostly be confused.

CitizenVectron Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Finally got around to seeing this and loved it. Love how Radcliffe plays it straight, and all the little absurd bits (like Beat It being a parody of Eat It, and not the other way around).

I can't even see anything related to Conan without immediately thinking The Librarian. The firehose bit is also fantastic, the kid's enthusiasm right before getting destroyed is gold.
