I actually met Weird Al, at a book signing, back in 2013. Everyone in the long winding line was given a piece of paper and pencil so that they could jot down what they wanted Al to write in their book. It was such a joy to watch how Al smiled and interacted with his fans. He was so sweet, sincere and patient!! One woman started crying, when she walked up to him, and without hesitation Al got up and gave her a warm hug, When it was our turn my then 12 year old daughter got real shy and Al playfully mimicked her and made her laugh! 🥰

Weird Al is truly a treasure. He has had the amazing ability to be a musical genius, use it to make parodies, become a superstar because of those parodies, creates a 40 year career of it, and be humble enough not to let it go to his head or lead by his ego.

I adore Al. Met him 3 times after concerts where he graciously stayed after the show and signed things at his tour bus. Not only is he a genuinely sweet, sincere, and humble man, but so are his band members (and let's not forget that those band members have to play everything from polka to rap to country in their shows-- they are all *ridiculously* talented in their own right). They all stayed outside the bus too and signed stuff, talked to fans, and it was a blast-- even though they had a 6+ hour bus ride to their next show the next day and it was well after midnight when they got done. My love and admiration for Weird Al and Berm, Steve, Jim, and Ruben is unending and I hope they are able to tour for many, many years to come.

When I first saw the trailer, I had almost completely forgotten about the parody trailer on FoD all those years back. After a few seconds of the trailer, it was clear that they just made the fake trailer into a movie, which is the most brilliant idea ever. I was so thrilled to see Eric Appell, as mentioned the director, still out there grinding every day for these. As a once-I-tried-for-like-six-months-but-eventually-gave-up-because-i-was-bad filmmaker, I always struggled with my writing and making things "believable", which is why I so envy the idea of "Oh hey, lets just make it up!". With very little original content coming out these days, it is so nice to see a brand new story being told, even if it is incredibly fake.

Not just the Hall of Fame. I've been saying for years that he needs to headline the Super Bowl

I disagree. Rock and roll hall of fame is garbage. They don't deserve Weird Al.

@@andywhtwo000 That would be amazing! Hopefully next NFL season he'll be playing the halftime show if we create a buzz and keep putting the idea out there :)

God!!!!! This gentleman is amazing. To have the privilege of Al in pretty much our entire lives is quite the treat. His brilliance and humor is top notch. Life would be so boring without his presence among us. Thank you,Al. For continuing to kick ass. Many times listening to your songs with gut busting laughter.

Weird Al deserves this biopic! And he's still so positive and enthusiastic and brilliant! I am totally looking forward to this movie!

Saw him twice when I was a kid about 25 years ago. He puts on such a unique and great show. Totally worth seeing regardless of what kind of music you like.

I remember moving back to California my sophomore year in high school in 1997. Some family friends took us to his show in the Bay Area and he signed autographs afterwards. I remember saying to the person next to me I just moved from AZ, and Weird Al’s friend was sweet and she joined in and said she was from there and shook my hand. I got an autograph after that and thanked Weird Al. It was a great night!

I am a long term fan of Weird Al and enjoyed his many songs. I only got to see him live one time at an amusement park in Pennsylvania but due to the crowd did not get a seat in the stadium to see him. Well I still got to see parts of the show in a weird way. It happened that at this park their ski lift type of ride ran past a good portion of where he was performing. So my friend and I just kept getting on the ride and lucky for us there was no line for the ride. So we saw a good portion of his show from an elevated seat going by the performance area !

Can't believe this movie is free. It deserves a theatrical release.

I was watching his Behind The Music last night, and he said that it was disappointing that UHF didn't do better (which is crazy b/c UHF is total classic), that's why I'm so happy that Weird is a big hit for him, he deserves to bask in that happiness!

Weird Al is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs. On paper, a satirical biopic with Daniel Radcliffe as Weird Al shouldn't work, but it does. The movie is absolutely fantastic, so funny. My favorite part is when they keep emphasizing the fact that Eat It is an original song, then MJ releases Beat It and it's supposed to be a parody lol

Having seen his performance in Davis (a suburb of Sacramento) I truly felt like a proper Weird Al fan. It was so amazing because when “Yoda” starts playing, everyone sings.

I was often mocked for liking Weird Al when I was young, but I remember that the first time I heard "Eat it" I was hooked. He has been massively influential in my life. I have been to 3 of his concerts. I tell you, every concert ends with "Yoda," and the crowds go wild. It's as good as "We We Will Rock You." Comedy and musical gold.
