Professor Popinjay's Compendium of Perspicacity

A Non-Review by Prof Popinja

(1989)

The original Weird Al movie! It’s a classic. One great moment after another! If you’ve never seen this… WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE!?!

I cannot say enough good things about UHF! I know that’s an ambiguous statement so I’ll rephrase it. If I were to start saying good things about this movie, I would be able to do so perpetually, clear up until my death at the hands of whomever finally gets sick of me constantly talking about how great this movie is and I would still have more to say.

Other critics may scoff at this film’s lack of quality actors, writing, effects, musical score, film stock, lighting, catering, et cetera. Fools! They will never understand the true genius of Alfred Mathew “Weird Al” Yankovic because they are simply not worthy.

UHF defies critique! It cares nothing for your opinion of it! It simply is and you must reckon with it or diminish into obscurity!

It is not counted among true cinema as an artform for it is an artform unto itself! It puts true cinema to shame for even attempting to be something other than UHF!

If you have not seen this, stop what you are doing immediately. I don’t care if you’re performing open heart field surgery on your life partner or conducting a funeral for the king of England! Unimportant! Stop! Stop mid sentence if you must and leave these unconcerned standers-by and make a bee-line to the nearest vcr, dvd player, or streaming service. Bore your way through any wall or other impediment with naught but your face and pure force of will and WATCH THIS MOVIE!
