The dossier

The accordion-wielding rebel

This version of Weird Al Yankovic is a tortured, heavily-drinking rock god. He rejects the traditional expectations of the music industry—and his deeply unsupportive parents—by fiercely defending his right to make up new words to existing songs.

Daniel Radcliffe delivers an absolutely flawless, deadpan performance. He completely commits to the absurdity of the biopic parody, playing Al’s ridiculous musical epiphanies as moments of profound, dramatic genius.

The character is a brilliant tribute to Yankovic’s actual legacy. By completely fabricating his life story, the film perfectly captures the anarchic, intensely silly spirit that made Weird Al a true musical icon.
