Movie Review: FUNNIEST MOVIE EVER...
Summary: 5 Stars
"Weird Al" Yankovic, Kevin McCarthy, Michael Richards, David Bowie, Victoria Jackson, and Fran Drescher ARE ALL STARS IN THE funniest movie ever. This is slapstick at its' finest. Sure the plot is simple, but what do go see a comdy for anyway? LAUGHS OF COARSE, and laughs this film delivers. Your sides will burst at each joke this movie hits you with. The plot of this inspired comedy about an offbeat guy who turns a deadbeat TV station into a raging success! Sounds simple, but I'm not watching comedys for great acting and clever story telling, I just wanna have fun, and this movie is the definition of FUN! Broadcasting Weird Al's uniquely strange brand of humor, UHF's Channel 62 is a place you'll want to visit...with increasing frequency! If you are a fan of Weird Al's parodies, this is the DVD for you. Also if you're a fan of The Naked Gun, Airplane! or Hot Shots! this is a must have! BUY THIS TODAY!! How can you not love a movie were poodles fly?Movie Review: Cult Classic

If you are a fan of Weird Al's parodies, this is the DVD for you. I know some people don't get it (a.k.a: Roger Ebert and some other critics). Yeah, the plot is a tad weak, but the main focus of this project was to give Al an outlet into doing parodies of movies and TV. There are many priceless gags in the movie ("Raul's Wild Kingdom" and "Ghandi II" come to mind). There is also a fabulous performance by Michael Richards (a.k.a.: Kramer from "Seinfeld") as the station's janitor turned TV star. There are also appearances by Victoria Jackson (SNL) and Fran Drescher (The Nanny).The audio commentary is fantastic. You get to hear about what inspired some of the scenes and also what was not included in the movie. You also get to find out why the DVD wasn't released until June 4, 2002! There are deleted scenes on the DVD in the bonus material including a fantastic one of Michael Richards ad-libbing an entire scene!
Movie Review: Very Enjoyable!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a Weird Al fan for some 17 years but had never seen the legendary UHF until it came out in this DVD addition. With all the mixed press that it got on it's original release, I wasn't at all sure what to expect. This thing is insane! It's great! I see hints of Monty Python, Leslie Neilson, and others but it really has a comedy angle all of it's own. Like all of those other brands of comedy, it appeals to certain audience. I don't blame those that are cynical. Either you get it or you don't. If you are sure BUY IT RIGHT NOW and keep the receipt. I find it interesting that Weird Al actually seems to write up some of the looniest humor for the other characters and uses his own mostly to react to them. As for the DVD features, they are mostly aimed at brothers of the true UHF geekhood. The commentary is notable as truly entertaining (rare for commentaries) Weird Al and friends really keep it rolling.Movie Review: UHF DVD ~a must have!!

Well, I received my DVD in the mail yesterday, and the first thing I did was look for the one Easter Egg I knew how to find! From the Main Menu, pick Special Features. Then, select any option that is on the other side. You will see Al come on screen to tell you you have to turn the disc over. If you select the same item two more times, Al gets more annoyed each time! Very funny! There are others, but you can find out about them from other fans.... The deleted scenes are hilarious, with Al coming onscreen to comment on them every so often. Running commentary is an option as well. Lots of great stills, and some more cool options like foreign language options for sound and subtitles. Al showed some of us lucky fans at a convention how you could watch UHF in French with Spanish subtitles! lol! The movie itself looks very nice and clear. Al did a great job making this a fun DVD for all the fans! Two thumbs WAY up!!Movie Review: You found the marble in the oatmeal!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the craziest, freakiest, funniest movie! Starring Weird Al Yankovic and Michael Richards (Cosmo Kramer from Seinfeld), this movie will make you laugh for hours. Michael Richards plays a janitor turns kiddie TV show host with his own show, Stanley Spedowski's Clubhouse. Weird Al plays the owner of the TV station, who is desperately searching for ratings. Stanley's show is an automatic hit and features games like finding a marble in a sandbox full of oatmeal. The prize is drinking from a firehose. Another show on Al's station is the Wheel of Fish, where contestants can play to win red snappers or catfish. Everything goes great until jealous rivals kidnap Stanley. Luckily, he finds his precious mop and escapes. Animal activists may not like it when poodles are thrown out of windows as part of a flying lesson and antfarms are shaken to make angry ants. Still, a zany, hilarious movie.
