Weird is an unapologetically ridiculous and over-the-top romp that’s sold by people who are completely, sincerely, and unfailingly committed to the bit on every level. It’s not particularly groundbreaking or subversive, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s smart (or so silly it’s smart), expertly executed, and genuinely funny.

Radcliffe’s winning performance – like a goofy high-schooler who wins the lottery – is enough to keep everyone laughing. Top that off with an album’s worth of quirky cameos, including Conan O’Brien’s genuinely laugh-out-loud Andy Warhol impression, and you’ve got a cult classic in the making. M-m-m-myyy bologna

Those who go in expecting a biopic will be sorely disappointed. Those who go in expecting a UHF level of madness will leave a happy soul.

This is the greatest film in cinema history. There's simply no other way to put it. This movie completely changed the tracjetory of my life in posivite ways beyond belief. Run! Don't walk, to a TV near you and let this film impact your soul in ways you previously had not thought possible. 12/10

So good. It's an aburdist parody full of in-jokes and making fun of biopic tropes. Anybody talking about how there's too much exposition or the writing is cringy or whatever....they're missing the point. Every bit of that is intentional.

I'll say this about Weird. I'll watch this 10 more times in my life before I'll ever rewatch those Queen or Ray Charles biopics.

If you grew up loving Weird Al, you will really enjoy this faux-biopic. It's absurd and jam packed with bits. For the first third you will be grinning and giggling like a fool. Daniel Radcliffe is phenomenal. I think it should have been cut shorter by 10 minutes, but overall no regrets.

Total **** The writers of this disaster have the maturity of a 6 grader. Harry Potter is just terrible. Every acter is terrible in there role which is probably a symptom of the poor writing. I would give a negative rating of it was possible.
