It was part of the completely true documentary of his life. The guy who played the late Mr Yankovic seems pretty good. He might have a future in the biz, if only he could find a role in a kids' fantasy movie.

Fuck Micheal Jackson for stealing his music

Before that he just has to take whatever whacky insane roles he can find to prove he's not just one thing

Funny enough there doesn't seem to be any footage of the 1985 assassination. Interesting cover up, I think.

(The movie is way better than the trailer makes it out to be)

I wonder if the new Al knows the new Avril

I think they're referring to the documentary with Daniel Radcliffe playing him (but I never saw it so I can't be certain). Apparently Weird Al said they could just write whatever story they wanted about his life or something like that and seemingly they ran with that.

I generally like Weird Al and his works, but I don't really get that ... Joke? Seems like it makes the "documentary" pretty pointless.

It's not a documentary, it's a fictional biopic

It’s literally a parody of biopics, which now that I think about it is the perfect way to make a Weird Al biopic.

Also based off a funnyordie video a few years ago with Aaron Paul as Weird Al.

Thank you for the explanation.
