In a world starved for accordion heroes, a young Al Yankovic dreams of a life far beyond the constraints of his oppressive, no-polka household. This wildly irreverent and genre-bending "biopic" chronicles the meteoric rise of the world's most famous musical parodist, played with manic dedication by Daniel Radcliffe. From his humble beginnings crafting food-based lyrics to becoming a global icon, Al's journey is a surreal tapestry of fabricated celebrity encounters, absurd chart-topping rivalries, and a torrid, dangerous romance with the queen of pop herself, Madonna, portrayed by Evan Rachel Wood. As Al grapples with the dark side of fame, artistic integrity, and the pressures of living up to his own "Weird" legend under the guidance of a bombastic mentor, Rainn Wilson as Dr. Demento, the film gleefully shreds the rulebook of the traditional music biopic. Directed by Eric Appel and co-written by the man himself, this comedy is a hilarious and heartfelt celebration of how one peculiar man with an accordion defiantly marched to the beat of his own, decidedly odd, drum.
