If you enjoy very stupid humor, parodies, or Weird Al at all… you’ll at least be entertained my this movie. At its best when over the top.

Weird Al brings lots of laugh-out-loud, often dark humor in this pop-culture-mocking cult classic.

Great cult classic from Weird Al. It’s just dumb fun. If you didn’t grow up with it I could see how you wouldn’t like this.
