Diagonaldi Very well executed

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

the_doofy 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.

Harriet Deltubbo UHF is very light-hearted and it isn't complex at all. Visual gags come fast, and it's impossible to catch them all! I thought UHF was cute and not bad at all. Filled with charm, innocence and satire -- a nice mix. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. The effects are very good for 1989. Yankovic is also a musician who pokes fun at other musicians by rearranging the lyrics to their songs, I am told by friends and family who insist he's a funny guy.

BugArson OK so over fifteen pages of out of the park reviews. er Why? Maybe this movie just doesn't age well or something. I am a fan of Mr Yankovic, he is witty and his parodies are, usually, quite clever. I am a fan of stoopid humor (AirPlane, Police Squad, Top Secret the list goes on). But although I had high hopes for this film I really just didn't like it. Maybe it's the poor acting (er, nope), maybe its the poor plot (er, nope) - the thought of a leftfield chancer getting his mitts on a TV station is actually a great sounding plot. I think that the problem is that every significant single pun/joke/plot device coming can be spotted about a mile off. Unlike some of the other reviewers on here then I managed to watch the entire film through without laughing out loud once. Yes admittedly I did crack a smile once or twice, but this was far outweighed by the fact that I was also forced to wince a good few times. Watch it certainly. But don't expect too much. The visual equivalent of pulling a Christmas Cracker.

Sean Lamberger Like a living, breathing Weird Al album, this has plenty of highs and lows. I can think of a dozen reasons to hate this movie, but it still inexplicably holds a warm place in my heart. The paper-thin plot, for example, is really only there to serve as a vehicle from one skit or song to the next, like the host of a feature-length variety show. Al must have mingled with the right circles on the comedy scene, though, because an odd blend of before-they-weres fill out UHF's cast: Fran Drescher, Victoria Jackson and an especially hyperactive, scene-stealing Michael Richards would all go on to bigger things later in life. It's a cult comedy in the same vein as The Kentucky Fried Movie, in that it does its thing without a care in the world, but outside of a few outstanding, timeless gags and a huge spoonful of heart, it's not really all that good.
