I have no special connection with Weird Al, found some of his parody songs funny growing up but they were usually hit or miss. This film however, is a rock solid comedy with gags that hold up beautifully. There's a few misses with some awkwardly executed and dated jokes but none of them drag the movie down and they're far few and between some excellent setups and payoffs. The acting is quite good from the entire cast, Weird Al I was especially surprised to see putting on a performance that reminded me of Gene Wilder himself. This is possible the only movie to execute movie parody gags correctly.
