Plot
'Weird: The Al Yankovic Story' is a comedic musical biopic that takes an incredible journey through the life and career of the comedian known as 'Weird Al' Yankovich, one of the most important media personalities in the United States in the 80s and 90s. The film spans from his childhood as a child prodigy to becoming a musical legend for multiple generations. Yankovic was a weirdo who, in the early 1980s, made a name for himself doing hilarious parodies of songs like Madonna's 'Like a Virgin' or Michael Jackson's 'Beat It', substituting his funniest inventions for the original lyrics. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Weird Al was catapulted to worldwide celebrity thanks to his particular sense of parody humor, rubbing shoulders with the biggest stars and becoming a regular presence on the screen. This biopic holds nothing back, exploring every facet of the musician and comedian's life, from his meteoric rise to fame to his steamy love affairs and curious lifestyle. 'Weird: The Al Yankovich Story' stars Daniel Radcliffe as the titular comedian, with Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna, Rainn Wilson, Julianne Nicholson and Quinta Brunson as Oprah Winfrey. The acclaimed film is directed by Eric Appel ('Silicon Valley') and is an original production of The Roku Channel, released in Spain directly via streaming through Movistar Plus+ on December 30, 2022.
