As a kid, I was so excited to get to see this. Everything was depicted add it should have been. Drinking from the fire hose, catching bullets from guns that shoot casings too, and Ghandi eats meat and gets even! Too bad none of my TVs would tune to UHF stations, I had to stick with bowling for plain money. Dr. D even makes an appearance. Please check this out if you have ever enjoyed any of Weird Al's parodies.

Weird Al is the master of parody, from Indiana Jones to Dire Straits to Close Encounters to Conan the Barbarian to Rambo, UHF makes me howl with laughter. Seriously though... that whole Rambo scene has got to be one of the funniest things ever put on film. UHF is a great movie that got a raw deal back in the day but here it is today and if you haven't seen it, you're really missing out. Check it out as soon as you can.

I've always enjoyed Weird Al's music, from the Dr. Demento days to his recent drubbings of pop culture. This movie, while completely absurd, does well in carrying over his ridiculous sense of humor to film. He's actually not a terrible actor, at least when put in the role of (basically) himself. The supporting cast is terribly silly as well, there's some great original tunes from Al, and it serves as a nice feel-good 80s movie in some ways.
