Weird:  The Al Yankovic Story

Explores every facet of Yankovic's life, from his meteoric rise to fame with early hits like 'Eat It' and 'Like a Surgeon' to his torrid celebrity love affairs and famously depraved lifestyle.

 

No review.  Just a quote from the movie.

 

Weird Al: I'm living the dream! To have 20,000 people every night singing MY words... to someone else's music... I feel truly alive on that stage.

 

Nuff said

 

FUN FACT:  The "Yankovic Bump" is a real thing, though not to the level shown in the movie. Many artists have seen an uptick in sales after Yankovic released a parody. Nirvana credits him with an extra million units of "Nevermind" and Chamillionaire has said his Grammy win was in part due to Yankovic's parody.
