Movie Reviews of UHF
Movie Review: Lesbian, nazi hookers, abducted by aliens...
Summary: 5 Stars
...and forced into weightloss programs, all this week on Towntalk.And that is just one of the many, many, many funny lines that also go along with all the funny gags in this jam-packed spoof fest that contends with the likes of Brooks and the ZAZ team. Weird Al scores big here as he does in his music videos, and goes for so many topics in the media, on telivision, still in the music and movies, and it works from the first arm ripped off in the Indiana Jones imitation to the final Gone with the Wind-like kiss from Victoria Jackson. Big props go to Michael Richards in his true breakthrough performance, and is also one of those comedies that can be quoted over a decade later.
A CULT COMEDY CLASSIC-FOR ALL AGES TOO!
Movie Review: Just like "Purple Rain," but intentially funny.
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only is the release of this DVD an opportunity to own one of the funniest movies of all time, but it has some of the best extra features you can find on DVD. The commentary track is so funny, that you'll have to watch it more than once because the first time you'll be laughing so hard you'll miss jokes. Michael Richard's commentary is exceptionally hillarious and may even be slighty outdone by Emo Phillips. "Weird Al" Yankovic has so much to say he barely has time to play Jay Levey's man-servent and get him a donut. There are also easter eggs, copius deleted scenes, some genuinely funny production stills and a great music video.Even if you are not a "Weird Al" fan, this is a wonderful DVD to own...
Movie Review: One of My Favorites
Summary: 5 Stars
This has been one of my favorite films for years. One that it always seemed like everyone else missed seeing. It has some great parodies of other films and popular music. Even Heraldo Rivera gets the spanking he deserves, if you are old enough to remember the things he did before becoming a "serious journalist". Lots of clean-cut goofiness. Years ago I put the janitor's speech on my telephone answering machine - a parody of the movie Network. There's also Rambo and Indiana Jones, and on and on. I guess you have to be a bit of an old timer to remember TV's with VHF and UHF on the dial. That's even older than when channel 17 was out Atlanta with Scarlet O'Hara's ads and Bill Tush. Egad!Movie Review: Weird Al makes everything better, even movies.
Summary: 5 Stars
I once found a copy of UHF at my local movie rental store and had passed it over. That store is now closed, and I immediately regretted my decision to pass it by. This DVD was my first online purchase for my own dang self, and while waiting for it to arrive in the mail, my mind was filling with caveats. Thankfully, any misgivings I may have had were put to rest once it arrived and I began to watch. Throughout the majority of the film, I was laughing either on the inside or out loud. Weird Al really brings a sense of absurd reality to the character of George Newman that I doubt would be in place with someone else. I highly reccommend UHF for Weird Al fans and comedy fans in general.Movie Review: Weird Al fan or Not, It's the best.
Summary: 5 Stars
If anyone complains about this movie because it's "Weird Al", I guess you have no idea that he'd been in the business for over 20 years, 10 album (11 coming soon), 2 grammys, 27 gold/platinum record in 3 countries, 1 TV show AND ONE HECK OF A MOVIE. He must be doing something right.I don't think Al was trying to be funny, all he was doing was being himself and let the other characters like Michael Richards, Gette Wantanbe and others to have the spotlight. I dont care if the thumb guys shoved theirs up where the sun don't shine about this movie. I only know it's funny, alot agrees on here and I am glad of that!! The DVD features shall be as entertaining as the movie itself.
