Mr Yankovic, We found Your Son at a Polka Party with an Accordion
5 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Daniel Radcliffe is brilliant in Weird Al Yankovic's parody of biographical films. It's a fictional account of his life. It gets absurd at times but it is supposed to be. There is a lot of fiction here. It's really a comedy.

We all know it's not real. The cameos are numerous with so many familiar faces in such small roles. Weird Al is very beloved in the entertainment industry. Everyone looked like they had a great time in filming it. Like most musical biopics, Al has an estranged relationship with his parents even after his success.

He struggles with drinking and drugs onscreen. He becomes too much of his own success. He lives in big mansion. He hits bottom too. Madonna becomes a toxic girlfriend. Of course, the fun of the movie is that it's a parody of musical biographical parodies. I love parodies and Weird Al who parodied popular songs to the absurd like "My Bologna;" Eat It;" "Like A Surgeon;" And more.
