Movie Review: CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
ANYONE WHO IS A TRUE WEIRD AL FAN KNOWS WHAT I MEAN BY THE TITLE! THIS MOVIE IS A CULT CLASSIC...AND IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. ALTHOUGH IT COVERED IN A MASK OF MORE POPULAR MOVIES THAT CAME OUT IN THE SUMMER OF 1989, A TRUE FAN KNOWS WHAT MAKES THIS MOVIE GREAT! SURE, LIKE HIS MUSIC, IT IS A PARODY OF SOME OF THE MORE SECULAR MOVIES AT THAT TIME, IT SHOWS THE GENIUS THAT MAKES AL WHO HE IS. ONE OF THE BEST SCENES IN THE MOVIE IS "THE WHEEL OF FISH". HAVING BEEN TO TWO CONCERTS, HAVING ALL HIS MUSIC, AND SEEING THIS MOVIE COUNTLESS TIMES, IT CAN ONLY MAKE ME LOVE WEIRD AL MORE. I CAN'T GET ENOUGH. I WENT THTOUGH H*LL TO GET THE VHS VERSION, WHICH IS NO LONGER IN PRINT. IT'S WORTH THE MONEY!!! SEEING AL IN THIS MOVIE MAKES YOU UNDERSTAND WHO HE IS...AND KEEPS YOU ROOTING FOR HIM RIGHT TO THE VERY END! THIS MOVIE EVEN GAVE RISE TO KRAMER FROM SEINFELD--HOW COULD YOU NOT WANT TO OWN IT?????Movie Review: Hurray for surreal humour!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie - having first seen it in my teens, I was afraid that I would have grown out of it - but it's even more wonderfully bizarre than I remembered! To enjoy this film, it does help to have some memory of the 80s - there's a lot of pop culture parodies, and Weird Al's girlfriend gets dressed up in a marvelous 80s party dress with gigantic puffed sleeves.Extras include some deleted scenes with explanations from Weird Al about why they were deleted (egs. "boring!!!" and "this really sucks") and movie commentary. The menus are quite cute and have Weird Al "doing things" (the New Al (TM) - after his laser eye surgury.) It's a bit annoying to have it on a "flip the disk" DVD (allowing the widescreen and full screen versions to fit on oen disk) but I didn't find any technical problems with it.
If you like Al's music you'll love this. Very Monty pythony.
Movie Review: GREAT DVD Presentation!
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie of course is "Stupid! Sooo Stupid!", but hillarious and perfect Weird Al comedy. The main point of this review is to say how great the DVD aspect was! I was dissapointed with Harry Potter's lack of much "REAL features", and mostly filled with stupid games. But UHF (all on a packed single sided disc) had both widescreen and regular, GREAT FUN menus, easter eggs, A good behind the scenes feature, a hillarious deleted scenes feature with commentary, full length commentary with Al and others from the cast that was hillarious, the UHF video, and great still photos! and the movie just looked great. And I got it for ten BUCKS! what a deal. Harry Potter made you buy TWO discs with NO COMMENTARY, deleted scenes you have to HUNT for (although that was fun I admit), and only one format, widescreen or regular depending on what you bought. UHF is way better.Movie Review: Still as funny as it was in the 80s...
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my childhood favorites is still almost as entertaining as I used to find it back then. In fact, with this disc filled with lots of extras (which for some reason are not listed on Amazon's page!), it's even better. The motion menus are exceptional as are the contents they open, and there is just one gripe - the deleted scenes are on the Idiot Side of the disc (the one with the cut, Fool Screen version of the film). They're missing from the proper, watchable, widescreen side of the DVD. (Why do studios still support fool screen, anyway?) The deleted scenes are, by the way, probably the best part of the extras - not really because they're particularly entertaining (there is a reason why scenes that don't work end up deleted), but because they're introduced and discussed by Al Y., who puts on a bitter, jaded, disgruntled act of being ashamed of and disgusted with them.Movie Review: Get 2 copies, people will borrow this and never return it...
Summary: 5 Stars
If you loan this to someone, consider it a gift, because it will NEVER be returned. Get two "UHF" DVDs so you don't suffer needlessly. ALSO... take care who you watch this movie with. It will forever change your relationship with that person -- they will become your "UHF Buddy." Someday you'll both be watching kids play a game -- one of the kids wins, and you look at your UHF Buddy and say gleefully, "you get to drink from the FIRE HOSE!!!" And you'll both start laughing ridiculously, and people will stare at you. Or when someone you know gets ripped off in some way, your UHF buddy will say to you "What's in the box? NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! STUPID!!!!" and the laughter will erupt again. If you're not prepared to live like this for the rest of your life, perhaps you'd do well to avoid this movie. Monty Python fanatics will understand what I mean...
