Rating: 8.5
No two movies have surprised me more this year than “Everything Everywhere” and now: “Weird”! It’s absolutely bonkers, a movie that only Weird Al could have made. This is the parody to end all parodies; it spoofs biopics/music industry and incredibly turns everything upside down by the end, operating by its own rules. It’s insanely funny and one of the biggest comedy surprises of the year, and has fantastic use of setups and payoffs with its jokes! My only problem is in the 2nd half it really starts to feel like a sequence of funny or die sketches rather than a movie. But that’s okay… it’s supposed to be absolutely nuts! Daniel Radcliffe is awesome in role, and I loved all the cameos hidden throughout! Highly recommend checking this out if you can… it’s impossible to find though unless you have a Roku… or as Weird Al himself suggested.. pirate it. So good luck trying to watch it, but if you do, you’re in for a treat!
