 Rated 5 out of 5!
Funnies movie ever!
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. - Rated 5 out of 5!
my favorite movie
This movie is so funny. You can’’t even imagine. Maybe the funniest movie of all. He’’s a very good actor, and comedian. And humorous. I saw this movie on TV twice. And I wish, they will show it again.  Rated 4 out of 5
We’’ve got it all on DVD
I was one of the lucky few who saw this gem as a movie -- in fact, as a sneak preview on a college campus. I remember the reviews from the two major newspapers (at that time) in Houston: one panned it because Weird Al is a bad actor, and one enjoyed it because he realized that Stanley Spadowski (Michael Richards) is the star.In gag films like this, different people are going to like different things. There’’s plenty here for just about everybody. But enough about the movie. You can read other reviews for plot synopses. The remarkable thing about this disk is that it’’s so well-done. The picture quality, particularly the color, is great for an old movie. The sound and subtitles are fine, as you might expect, but the extras are really worthwhile, which you might not expect. Even the menus are funny (and less annoying than a lot of DVDs). The commentary track is packed with trivia (I found it funny that he gave the address of every filming location, but there is plenty of more genuinely interesting trivia), and several of the cast (Michael Richards, Emo Philips, and Victoria Jackson) pop in for a bit. Al points out continuity errors, explains references, tells about compromises they had to make to stay in budget, and makes fun of his acting and writing. He puts in a visual appearance, as well, standing up in front of the picture to yell at the scene. The deleted scenes aren’’t particularly funny themselves (that’’s why they were deleted, after all), but the way he’’s put them together, again providing commentary and self-mocking criticism, turns it into a nice feature. This is an affordable disk with a lot of good features, and it’’s one of those movies you just might be coming back to often enough to make it worth owning.
