Cameos, spoofs, and quotable... all involving Weird Al. It's a great movie, especially when you want to laugh at people being dumb and clever at the same time. How can you not like a movie that has a kid drinking from a fire hose?

Rating : 8/10

I want it all, on UHF

Didn't do so hot when it first came out, I guess it's just not for people outside the Weird Al fan group. It had a tough release date with movies like Batman, Indy 3, and Lethal Weapon 2 coming out about the same time, not much room for Al.
Typical Al, lots of parodies, silliness, pointlessness, and Michael Richards as the goofy janitor/tv host. I am a fan of simple movies that you don't have to think too much, and this is one of them. Good times.

Look for Alfred Molina (Doc. Ock in Spider-man 2) at the very beginning...
