Weird Al parodies abound!
David Gray from Clackmannanshire, Scotland, 2nd September, 2005
Fans of the Weird one will love this. The plot is shocking, the jokes are rubbish (in a good way) and the acting average at best but this is a great way to spend an hour and a half without your brain! The best thing about the film is when Yankovic does what he does best - parodies. Gandhi II, Conan the Librarian, Indiana Jones, Dire Straits videos and Rambo segues are piss your pants funny. However funny Yankovic is, the film is really a comedy showcase for the bloke who went on to play Kramer in Seinfeld, who plays the slightly backward possibly retarded janitor of the station.

Fun Comedy Film if a bit Dated
themerv from from Salisbury, 4th August, 2004
Saw this film first years ago and wanted to see it again to see if I still thought the same about it. Abviously not as I would have given it 5 stars now I gave it 4. Warning this film has dated somewhat... But you still get a fun comedy film complete with some great micky takes from that era Conan the Librarian (don't dare bring your books back late) and Gandi II (no more passive resistance) enjoy it because it's fun but don't expect anything clever

Possibly the best film ever
thegrumps from Cleveland, 7th January, 2005
This film is a classic, so bad it's good. Weird Al hams it up all the way as a loser big style. With a set of quirky characters to back him up he romps along like a train out of control. Stanley the janitor is the best character in any film ever. Rent it, please!

How to make you laugh without being vulgar
Chantal from , 2nd August, 2007
If you are into the 80s and have a sense of humour, this film is a silly comedy about songs, movies and shows that were in the 80s. Weird Al is a talented comedian specialised in changing famous songs into an intelligent but silly version and for his polke dance of course :P My boyfriend and I had fun watching this.
Wierd Al Rules!

Great- daft, quite random at times, spoof-a-minute comedy. Love the little references that lace this mainly just-plain-silly plot. His little dream sequences like Conan the Librarian nearly made me do a wee. If you like Napoleon Dynamite I would strongly recommend this film; turn-your-brain-off fun!

I hired this film for my little bro, as this is one of my childhood films. It brought back a lot of memorys watching this, It's just a daft childish film with school boy humour. Leave your brain switched off and enjoy this film that doesn't take iyself serious!!! Very funny
