Weird: The Al Yankovic Story preview

Directed by Eric Appel, this Weird Al movie explores every side of Yankovic’s life, from his rise to fame with early smash hits such as ‘Eat It’ and ‘Like a Surgeon’ to his torrid celebrity love affairs with the likes of Madonna. His famously depraved lifestyle, which becomes his undoing, is also vital to telling his story.

With its intent to deliver music and fun while not taking itself so seriously, The Al Yankovic Story spoofs the standard biopic formula with all the silliness it could muster, while still being clever and inventive. The biopic parody also makes for an extremely specific genre of music that makes it a must-see.
