Movie Reviews of UHF
Movie Review: It's about time!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
UHF was one of the greatest movies made during the late 80's. Weird Al Yankovic stars as the owner of a struggling cable tv station. To pump up his ratings, Weird Al creates a number of nutty shows. In a game show that he hosts, Weird Al has a game called "Wheel Of Fish," which consists of a big wheel which has many fish glued thereto. It's gut-bustingly funny! Another great scene is from his morning show when he goes into the audience to take a question from a kid, and the kid spits right in his eye! That scene was hilarous! I almost fell over laughing because it was so unexpected! It works on so many levels!!!
Be sure to keep an eye out for Michael Richards. His role as the janitor was his break-through role in show-biz.
Definitely buy this movie. You won't regret it!
Movie Review: bonus material well worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
Let's skip a review of the movie..If you're looking at the reviews, you probably have seen the movie.New for the DVD:
Who knew there was a video for the song "UHF?" I'd seen clips from the video at various times (VH1's "Behind the Music") but never the whole thing. Not that great, but worth having.
Al did a lot of research before going in to do the commentary, and it shows. He'll tell you the exact locations that every scene was filmed, as well as point out flub ups that they had to work through.
Michael Richards doesn't add much to the commentary, but Victoria Jackson's comments are pretty amusing.
The deleted scenes are presented with commentary by Al, explaining, humorously, why they were deleted.
There's also lots of fun easter eggs to discover.
Movie Review: Hilarious cult classic with great DVD treatment
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie, I've seen it over 100 times and I never stop laughing, and finally after years of dealing with the pitiful EP VHS copies UHF gets the format it deserves, and with plentiful extras. First of all the animated menus are entertaining with Al interacting with the selections, the widescreen side has a short behind the scenes featurette, audio commentary by Al, Jay Levy, and others, the UHF music video with lots of music video parodies, 2 trailers and a ton of production photos. You have to flip the disc over to the pan and scan side for a very funny deleted scenes documentary hosted by Al, where he introduces and commentates on each of the scenes, and even fast forwards through the slow paced ones. A must have for all Weird Al fans!Movie Review: Funnies movie ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
this movie is about an offbeat guy who turns a deadbeet TV station into a raging success. broadcasting Wierd Al's hilarious brand of humor.George Newman is a daydreamer who's hyperactive imagination keeps him from holding a steady job..... Untill his uncle hires him to manage channel 62, a station that's losing money(and viewers) fast. But when George replaces the stations re-runs with bizzare programs like "Wheel of fish" and "Rauls Wild Kingdom" (Where Poodle fly from three story windows). Ratings begin to soar. can george find the money he needs to keep this awesome TV station?
This was one of the funniest movies ever, and with weird al, it makes it even mor funny, with his immitations of Indiana Jones and Rambo.
Movie Review: I laughed to the point of tears
Summary: 5 Stars
I caught a few Weird Al videos in the 80's...I was never a huge fan. But when I saw this, there were moments I was driven to the silliest laughing fits. I still laugh just from remembering the horribly inappropriate moment when the little kid spat in Uncle Nutsy's face. This is definitely a guilty pleasure kind of comedy.
The only movie that had me laughing this hard since UHF was Something About Mary. I got the DVD because my VHS copy is worn out.
Weird Al manages to make even the usually interminable DVD menu screens into a funny little joke on the DVD, though he provides needlessly derogatory and self-deprecating narratives of the deleted scenes section.
Thanks, Weird Al, for making us laugh.
