Life is like a parody of your favorite song

A parody biopic of "Weird Al" Yankovich, a comedy musician best known for his polka medleys and parody songs. Comedy music is hard to see as a music genre and it's only fun while it lasts. This movie though, it's written well and the tone and approach of its comedy is refreshing and quite clever. Daniel Radcliffe as Weird Al is absolutely great and familiar faces such as Conan O'Brien (as Andy Warhol), Jack Black (as Wolfman Jack), Josh Groban, Patton Oswalt and Will Forte, even if briefly, kept popping us as guests. Brilliantly fictionalized biopic of a parody artist.
