Description:
'Weird Al' Yankovic, Kevin McCarthy (Innerspace), Michael Richards ('Seinfeld'), David Bowie (The Cable Guy), Victoria Jackson ('Saturday Night Live') and Fran Drescher ('The Nanny') star in this inspired comedy about an offbeat guy who turns a deadbeat TV station into a raging success! Broadcasting Weird Al's uniquely strange brand of humor, UHF's Channel 62 is a place you'll want to visit...with increasing frequency!George Newman (Weird Al) is a daydreamer whose hyperactive imagination keeps him from holding a steady job...until his uncle hires him as manager of Channel 62, a TV station that's losing money and viewers fast. But when George replaces the station's reruns with bizarre programs like 'Wheel of Fish,' 'The Wonderful World Of Phlegm' and 'Raul's Wild Kingdom' (where poodles fly from third-story windows), ratings begin to soar! But as the ratings rise, so does the wrath of TV mogul R.J. Fletcher (McCarthy), who wants to turn the station into a parking lot. Can George find the money he needs to stay on the air? Stay tuned!
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Best Comedy and Parody
This is comedy in it's purest form.Side-splitting parody and daring, out-there over the top silliness!Best of all, it's entirely harmless.Several levels above 99% of all other Hollywood movies.Wierd Al has you rolling on the floor without the use of sexual or biological humor.
Rating: - One of My Favorites
This has been one of my favorite films for years.One that it always seemed like everyone else missed seeing.It has some great parodies of other films and popular music.Even Heraldo Rivera gets the spanking he deserves, if you are old enough to remember the things he did before becoming a "serious journalist".Lots of clean-cut goofiness. Years ago I put the janitor's speech on my telephone answering machine - a parody of the movie Network.There's also Rambo and Indiana Jones, and on and ... Read More
Rating:  - A Long Time Ago in A Galaxy in Some Crazy Guy's Head
This is a funny movie. It is part satire and part homage; and it works.There are some lulls, and some skits don't go over so well; but, on the whole it will entertain you and make you laugh.I saw this film in the theater when it was first released many years ago.It has aged well and is even funnier in spots.Weird Al is his usual dorky, idiosyncratic self playing the dispirited manager of his Uncle's broken down UHF station.The supporting cast is just as good , especially Michael Richards ...

Rating: - The Trouble With Being Funny
It's not uncommon for pop stars to get ahead of themselves and decide to make a movie.The Beatles did it, Prince used to do it and The Spice Girls made a complete mess of it.But what of Alfred Matthew 'Weird Al' Yankovic and his first and only motion picture?Any film involving a musician requires caution ('Hearts of Fire', anyone?).Even its status as a 'one off' suggests failure.However, 'Weird Al' is not your average pop star and, accordingly, 'UHF' is not a mere star vehicle intended solely ...

Rating: - Funny and entertaining
If you are a fan of Weird Al then you will enjoy this movie. It is funny and light. Don't expect a movie that makes you think or get emotional. UHF is just fun and exactly what a person needs on Friday night with popcorn and family around the tube. Great fun.
