Weird: The Al Yankovic Story isn't a biopic. Because the film is mostly fictional. Whether you're a die-hard Yankovic fan or not, you're likely to appreciate it.

Daniel Radcliffe plays Yankovic, a youngster who buys an accordion from a door-to-door salesperson, in this film full of lies.

The world's top artist performs dumb imitation songs, sinks into drunkenness, and is nearly destroyed by Madonna. Only one is true, and it's not the Madonna part.

Yankovic says a door-to-door accordion salesman is why he plays. Otherwise, nonsense.

'Weird Al' Yankovic sells nonsense. In the 1980s, Yankovic became famous for his parodies of pop classics, notably 'Eat It' (a parody of 'Beat It').

"Another One Rides the Bus" (Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust") and "Like a Surgeon" (Madonna's "Like a Virgin"). His absurdity has earned him 12 million record sales, five Grammys, and a huge live following.
