Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is exactly the wacky, wild, and silly movie you’d expect from a Weird Al movie starring Harry Potter. If you’re looking for the true story of how the parody musician rose to fame, this isn’t the movie for you. But if you’re looking for an absurd, chaotic spoof that pokes fun at tired Hollywood tropes—while also capturing the good-natured humor that makes Weird Al such an icon—you’ve come to the right place. Daniel Radcliffe gives 110 percent—treating this wig-wearing, lip-syncing role like it’s his shot at an Oscar—and Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna proves we’ve all been sleeping on her considerable comedic talents. And before you complain about signing up for a new streaming service—you don’t have to! It’s free, no subscription needed, either on your Roku Channel app or on TheRokuChannel.com.
