Weird Al takes secular pop songs and makes them into wholesome parodies, for his movie he took his wholesome life and made it into a secular drama parody. Loved it and Daniel Radcliffe was perfectly cast.
yea and there’s something about the way the film does it … unless you know going in you could almost be fooled into thinking it’s a serious and accurate biopic (at least for much of the film) … which was really fun to watch … because then there’d be some line or event which is clearly too ridiculous and it all lands but still the mostly serious tone is almost the punch line.
It only initially released on Roku’s streaming service, but I think it’s available elsewhere now.
It is NOT meant to be historically accurate, which makes it funnier IMO.
I’d go so far as to call it a parody of other rock star documentaries 😉😉

Exactly that. It’s like the movie is all rising action. It just keeps getting more ridiculous.
Probably the best stance when dealing with someone like Weird Al
