I think this has to be one of the funniest movies i have seen in my life! just all the random shows in between the plot of the movie just make it like a family guy/futurama show mixed in with a healthy dose of random al.
Totally wacky and absolutely hilarious June 17, 2004
Kristin Dreyer Kramer (NightsAndWeekends.com)
Okay. I'll admit it. UHF is one of my favorite movies. And I'm not ashamed, either. After all, it's a product of Weird Al Yankovic, who's famous for his strange parodies of popular songs-like "Eat It" or "Amish Paradise" or "Like a Surgeon" or "I Love Rocky Road." In other words, it's totally wacky and absolutely hilarious.pWeird Al plays George Newman, a guy whose overactive imagination has lost him-and his friend, Bob (David Bowe)-yet another job. When his uncle wins a nearly bankrupt UHF station (remember UHF?) in a poker game, he gives the studio to George. Determined to make this job work, George and Bob-with the help of receptionist/reporter Pamela Finklestein (Fran Drescher) and janitor Stanley Spadowski (Michael Richards)-create exciting shows that has everyone in town watching. But when R.J. Fletcher (Kevin McCarthy), the head of the local network affiliate, finds out, he decides to do everything in his power to shut George down and turn U-62 into a parking lot.pWords cannot even begin to describe the hilarity of this movie. On a recent trip, I popped UHF into my laptop's DVD player on the plane, and I was pretty much in tears for the entire hour and a half. Michael Richards alone makes the movie worth watching (repeatedly). And while the movie does have a few slow parts, it's necessary-it gives you time to recover before the side-splitting laughter begins once again. If you're a fan of Michael Richards, off-the-wall comedies, and/or Weird Al, this is a must-see.
UHF June 13, 2004
Rochelle A. DeLancey (West Leechburg, PA United States)
I am a die hard Weird Al fan. When I heard this DVD was coming out, I knew I had to get it as soon as possible! UHF is one of those movies that is so hilarious mainly because a lot of it doesn't make sense! This DVD is the greatest. I found the commentary to be very good. Actually I found all of the special features to be totally awesome! The deleted scenes are probably my favorite. So, if you are a die hard Weird Al fan like me or even if you just heard one of his songs once and said, Oh, it's alright. you must see this movie!
UHF: The most important DVD release. Ever. May 13, 2004
Edward Swan (Little Rock, AR United States)
This is a repost of my review from the IMDB site, but since my feelings on the movie haven't changed between then and now, hey.pMany folks find themselves laughing out loud at Al's latest song or video -- at least, the first time they experience it. They might later claim he's stupid or not funny, afraid possibly of being labeled a fan. They might avoid UHF in the belief that it's just an extended Al video.pTheir loss.p'UHF' is one of those movies that had a miserable, worthless existence in the theater, shunned by the masses. The recognition of its genius was slow to arrive, but the movie did eventually find cult status on video and cable. The reason, simply: It's hilarious.pPart Naked Gun and part Al video, with plenty of sight gags, this is the kind of movie that only Al could make. Wheel Of Fish and Conan the Librarian are funnier than they have any right to be, and just wait until you see Raul's Wild Kingdom.pThe cast of 'UHF' seems almost prescient in retrospect; Fran Drescher and Michael Richards made memorable co-stars before they struck gold on network TV. Richards, especially, is hilarious as janitor-turned-TV host Stanley Spadowski. He's brilliant, better than anyone else in the movie and better even than the material he's given.pAlthough ostensibly a dig at TV, 'UHF' actually lampoons movies and commercials far more effectively, with hilarious send-ups of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', 'Ghandi' and 'Rambo: First Blood Part II'.pBut enough. I've already wasted too many words describing a movie that just needs to be seen. If you absolutely hate Al, or 'Airplane'-type movies, then avoid 'UHF'. Anyone else who just wants to laugh (a lot) needs to give it a look.
