Daniel Radcliffe’s post-Potter career choices have been so bizarre but absolutely necessary as there weren’t many other ways he’d ever get away from Potter. He’ll always be the boy who lived but it certainly won’t be the only thing he’s remembered for. I have no idea if it's true or not so take this with a grain of salt but my understanding was that he pretty much got all the money he'd ever need from Harry Potter so now he just does stuff that seems interesting to him. I mean, unless he had the worst contracts ever, he'd have to be very loaded, so it stands to reason. |

And he could appear on the convention circuit for decades to come and have a steady stream on income from that if he so chose. |

I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Daniel Radcliffe. He’s got every reason in the world to be a conceited dick, but instead he’s polite, awkward and grounded. Doing a series of quirky but memorable roles since Harry Potter ended, which only endeared him to me more.
This looks no different, so good luck to him.

I hope Coolio is in it (and really, it's not like he has anything better to do). That could probably be arranged considering that he has the time and inclination to appear in Tik Tok videos of a couple who like to use "Gangster's Paradise" as part of their punchlines for their videos when the husband insults the wife and walks away. I'm waiting for Lana Rel Rey to show up for their videos too since they use "Jealous Girl" in the same way when she insults him (usually insulting his manhood or performance in the bedroom). |

Yeah this looks pretty fun. Being as much a tongue in cheek parody of music biopics as you can get while still being goofy like you'd want from Al.

Lol in weird al fashion, this seems like a parody of biopics. Hope they do actually tell his story though.
...He really f***ed Madonna?

Looking forward to it.
Just a little disappointed that it's not called "Dare To Be Stupid".

Good trailer. Parody of a parody.

They've clearly taken things from the Funny or Die skit and used them here as well. The only thing from the trailer that appears to be true are, his name is Weird Al and Madonna did suggest he do a parody called Like a Surgeon. |

I've been a fan of Al's almost since he hit the scene, but aside from vintage releases or something, I'm done. I thought he was more clever than anything that's come up since Running with Scissors. Especially Funny or Die stuff. JMO

He was sent the idea for Like a Surgeon from Ted Moesby. |

This movie looks so f***ing fun. I’m a massive Weird Al fan, finally saw him in concert in July and it was amazing, and I can’t wait. First CD I ever purchased was Bad Hair Day (my parents were really late on getting into the whole “buying a CD player idea). I actually reorganized my CD’s the other day, and I own more Weird Al CD’s then any other single artist or band.

He tries to find solace in food, gives up the entertainment industry to move to an Amish commune... |

The trailer gave me some real "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" vibes, which almost guarantees that I'm going to love this.

I really respect how Daniel Radcliffe made all his Harry Potter money and now just does whatever movies he finds fun.
