Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022)

Accordion icon ‘Weird’ Al Yankovic’s life story is spoofed in parody biopic. Daniel Radcliffe throws himself into the title role of this funny fake biopic, which absolutely leans into its silly concept.

Directed by Eric Appel, a veteran of the ‘Funny or Die’ site (and loosely based on short online trailer version hosted there, which stars ‘Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul as Yankovic), the film, co-written by Yankovic and Appel, chronicles a large swathe of Yankovic’s early life and career. Except, this is a far from factual account, which seems fitting for a man who has made a career out of funny parody songs, big hair and a talent for the accordion.
