About ‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story’

There’s a good chance that if you’re a Weird Al fan, you think you know everything there is to know about the frizzy-haired frequent guest of Dr. Demento. If you’re not a Weird Al fan, you may be thinking there’s no point in finding out more about him anyway. In either case, you’d be dead wrong.

“Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” is the “totally unexaggerated” (wink wink) account of the life of the greatest musician of our time. From a wickedly strict upbringing in which playing the accordion was a sin, Al Yankovic rebelled and made his dream of changing the words to world-renowned songs come true. An instant success and sex symbol, Al (allegedly) lives an excessive lifestyle and pursues an infamous romance that nearly destroys him. The film stars Daniel Radcliffe, Evan Rachel Wood, Rainn Wilson, and likely features an absurd cavalcade of A-list celebrity cameos.
