WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY

Daniel Radcliffe plays the esteemed musician whom this film is based upon. However, it soon becomes obvious to the audience this film is like everything else in Yankovic's life: a parody (and we wouldn't have it any other way). Completely exaggerated and over-the-top, the film explores Al's troubled relationship with his father, his rise to platinum level recording artist, and relationship with Madonna (amongst many other topics). Evan Rachel Wood plays Madonna and her and Radcliffe have a wonderful onscreen presence, each attempting to out do the other and both deliver fantastic performances! A funny film that garners laughs, which is all Al's ever been after in his life and it's a refreshing musical biopic that doesn't follow the standard formula. 6/10
