Rating: 1/4 --
This is the dreariest comedy in many a month, a depressing slog through recycled comic formulas.

The individual parts may be greater than the sum of the whole, but man, are those parts funny.

Rating: 3/5 --
It's agreeably goofy, and it feels like something anyone could do, even if that's not the case.

If the idea of a Weird Al movie is anathema to you, just don't bother reading anything I write, ever.

"Today, we're teaching poodles how to fly!" Michael Richards is hilarious.

Product Description:
Funnyman "Weird" Al Yankovic stars in this comedy as George Newman, a man who takes over a low-rent TV station won by his uncle in a poker game. Newman's unconventional methods for boosting ratings include giving the station's janitor his own children's program -- with spectacularly successful results. Complications ensue when the unscrupulous head of a rival network tries to drive Newman off the air, but there's still plenty of time out for fantasy music video segments and TV bits which showcase Yankovic's talents as a parodist.
