Overrated

Great Film overall

Brilliant and touching

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This movie has evolved into being a 80s culture fest, watching the movie w/ Al Y doing comments, its pretty obvious he never really realized what is achieved with this movie. Since there was never anything else movie wise done by Weird Al, its indicative of what his perception of this gem was.There isn't a lot the 'bonus material' comments add for this culture immersion experience movie in terms of the 80s, which is too bad, they missed the boat a little on that.I watch this thing once every few years, and always get some laughs out of it.

Unfortunately this movie is becoming far less relevant in the digital age, because television is a slowly dying invention, fading away behind that god-awful Netflix and Amazon Fire TV crud. But in its time U.H.F. was a laugh riot, and those who remember it from childhood or watched it when it first came out thankfully still appreciate it for its nostalgic value and comedy.It's a Weird Al movie, so yup, it's WEIRD. REALLY WEIRD. It follows a group of oddballs who decide to start up their own U.H.F. (ultra high frequency) station, which quickly becomes more successful than they ever could have dreamed. Accompanied by bizarre music videos, colorful characters, cool music and some of the most hilarious comedy I've ever seen, this is one movie I'll never forget any time soon! Watch it with friends, it's the best way. Pool your cash, order a few pizzas and 2L bottles of soda, gather around your living room or basement with your best friends, family and coworkers and have a blast watching this wonderfully funny movie. Make some popcorn, sing along to the songs, it's a retro and much more fun way to enjoy U.H.F.And tell your guests, NO CELLULAR DEVICES ALLOWED. That way you won't have to worry about turning around only to be disappointed to see your friends' downcast, zombified gazes as they drool over their Smartphones and I-Pads.U.H.F. - Unbelievably Hilarious Film! :D

Veteran music parodist 'Weird' Al Yankovic makes his feature debut with this engagingly silly comedy. Granted, not all of its jokes were terribly funny for this viewer, but there were some that worked quite well. In his inimitable style, 'Weird' Al sends up TV programming, music videos (naturally), movies, movie trailers, and commercials. The story (Al co-wrote with director Jay Levey, a frequent collaborator) relies on that comfortable old device of a misfit making good.Al plays George Newman, a fairly immature man who can't hold down a job because of his daydreaming and penchant for thinking up goofy ideas. Well, finally, as luck would have it, he finds an outlet for his creativity. His uncle Harvey (Stanley Brock) comes into possession of a nothing UHF TV station, and George is hired as a manager. Things get off to a rough start, but take off once George decides to put dim witted but well intentioned and lovable janitor Stanley Spadowski (Michael Richards) on the air."UHF" does travel far on Als' likability and irreverent sense of humour. Among the programming that he devises are parodies of Phil Donahue like shows ('Talk Time') and game shows ('Wheel of Fish'). For this viewer, the brightest moments include the opening "Raiders of the Lost Ark" spoof, the "Conan the Librarian" sequence ("Don't you know the Dewey decimal system?"), and the extended mocking of Sylvester Stallones' "Rambo" movies (with Als' body makeup created by the guys at KNB).It also benefits from a strong villain, in this case Kevin McCarthy, who's perfect as nasty and domineering network affiliate boss R.J. Fletcher. The supporting cast features a rich variety of familiar faces in addition to those already mentioned: Victoria Jackson as Als' fed-up girlfriend, soap opera veteran Anthony Geary in an interesting oddball part, and the late Trinidad Silva (to whom the movie is dedicated) as an unconventional wildlife program host, as well as Gedde Watanabe, Billy Barty, John Paragon, Fran Drescher, Sue Ane Langdon, and David Proval. Director Levey appears uncredited as Gandhi. One of the biggest laughs in "UHF" comes from comedian Emo Philips, as the unlikely shop teacher Joe Earley.Good fun overall, and guaranteed to send its fans away with smiles on their faces. As a bonus, Als' rocking theme song is pretty catchy.Seven out of 10.
