Summary: Funny as Heck
Review: THe Video Movie Guide described UHF as innocently funny, and they were not kidding. THis is one of the few movies that stays funny through out the whole thing and still be a little touching at the same time. The idea is that George (Weird Al) gets to run a TV station that his Uncle won in a poker game. George is a very imaginaitve character and for the most part is excited to get this opportunity. After a few blunders he decides in an act of depression to put the Janitor Stanly (Michael Richards) on the air and the results are astounding for him. This leads to a bitter rivalry with the local Television station chanel 8 whcih is run by male sexist pigs. In the end George, Stanly and a host of other comical charcters save the day and get to keep their silly TV shows (COnan the Librarian, Wheel of FIsh)However the DVD is defiently worth the money as well. NOt only do you get the movie (with your choice of wide screen or full) but you also get the trailor (common) delted scenes (Narrated by Weird Al), Behind the scenes featurette, the UHF music video (which mocks prince, Guns and Roses, and many other) and audio commentary by Weird Al himself. This is defiently a DVD worht purchasing.

Summary: the extras alone are worth [it]
Review: So UHF didn't last long in the theaters. Not one to talk about around the coffee maker at the office, or to quote lines from whilst picking up chicks at parties (although a twinkie weiner sandwich would sure impress... someone). Still, there is a lot riding for this movie. The DVD release has been a life saver for many people wanting to own this movie, as it has been out of print for some time now, and the only copies available were hidden in exclusive Blockbuster video stores around the country. And now it's available at a great price. The extras are worth it as well. With Wierd Al narating, he goes over the scenes that were taken out, as well as characters taken out of the screenplay all together. The commentary is also interesting and shows the brilliant comedic genius that Al Yankovic has, as well as his great memory when it comes to addresses. Seriously, each scene, while listening to the commentary, Al will state the address (and it's been 10 years since working on the project, so... wow). I would tell what the movie is actually about and the history behind the story, but I figure this: anyone wanting to purchase this movie has already rented it 6 dozen times and has even considered not returning and paying the fees just in order to keep it. So, ... have a few twinkie weiner sandwiches and spin the wheel of fish. Have fun for once....

Summary: What are you nuts!
Review: If you thought this movie wasn't funny you got to be NUTS! This movie was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It is a laugh a minute, I take that back it's a laugh a second. Also watch for Raul's animal kingdom(were puddles jump out of 3rd story windows)who is that guy anyways. I've got to admidt some of the scenes were just stupid but the halarious parts make up for that. Speeking of nuts "Weird Al" is absolutly nuts. This guy has made so many cd's performed at so many concerts and he still has it . The guy is a comical genuis. I recomend this movie anyone with an ounce of since of humour. The movie also has some good extra content. The funniest is the deleted scenes. It is funnie but,I don't want to give it away. Take my advice watch this movie. miss out on it forget about it

Summary: Weird Al doesn't get much better then this!!
Review: Definitely underrated for the type of movie we have here. I have been a Weird Al Yankovic fan all my life. And I admit it. The guy is funny. He has a good sense of humor, he really makes well known songs sound totaly differnet with his own twists and he just makes you want to smile and laugh at a situation. UHF is one of those movies that you may call a "cult" movie. It didn't do well at all in the box office. In fact it was one of Orions last movies before they went belly up. They were kinda counting on it to save them but a lot of tough competition did this movie in. It became quite popular on Video and even the soundtrack done with this movie is a full Weird Al album which is pretty enjoyable as well. I definitely recomend this movie to anyone who likes a good light comedy or anythign Weird Alesque as it won't disapoint. The price is right and the extras really make this even better then what you already get. The premise of the story is Al is a loser in life. He can't hold a job and he can't seem to stay focused on life. He and his friend get the chance to run a run down and pathetic UHF station at the edge of town . With the help of Stanley (played by Michael Richards of Seinfeld fame) and a few other off beat shows the station becomes a huge hit. Even rating higher then the rival channel 8 network station. Its full of a lot of laughs, great moments and just a good story line. Its not slapsticky over the top like Nakid Gun but its not a story to take totaly serious either as a lot of moments deal with Al's imagination and fantasies that he has. Very well acted and just a great movie to watch over and over. I highly recomend this one. The price is right and the movie is just great everytime. The best is that Weird Al does the commentary and the behind the scenes features on this disk and it really is just impressive all around.

Summary: bonus material well worth it
Review: Let's skip a review of the movie..If you're looking at the reviews, you probably have seen the movie. New for the DVD:
Who knew there was a video for the song "UHF?" I'd seen clips from the video at various times (VH1's "Behind the Music") but never the whole thing. Not that great, but worth having. Al did a lot of research before going in to do the commentary, and it shows. He'll tell you the exact locations that every scene was filmed, as well as point out flub ups that they had to work through. Michael Richards doesn't add much to the commentary, but Victoria Jackson's comments are pretty amusing. The deleted scenes are presented with commentary by Al, explaining, humorously, why they were deleted. There's also lots of fun easter eggs to discover.

Summary: FUNNIEST MOVIE EVER...
Review: "Weird Al" Yankovic, Kevin McCarthy, Michael Richards, David Bowie, Victoria Jackson, and Fran Drescher ARE ALL STARS IN THE funniest movie ever. This is slapstick at its' finest. Sure the plot is simple, but what do go see a comdy for anyway? LAUGHS OF COARSE, and laughs this film delivers. Your sides will burst at each joke this movie hits you with. The plot of this inspired comedy about an offbeat guy who turns a deadbeat TV station into a raging success! Sounds simple, but I'm not watching comedys for great acting and clever story telling, I just wanna have fun, and this movie is the definition of FUN! Broadcasting Weird Al's uniquely strange brand of humor, UHF's Channel 62 is a place you'll want to visit...with increasing frequency! If you are a fan of Weird Al's parodies, this is the DVD for you. Also if you're a fan of The Naked Gun, Airplane! or Hot Shots! this is a must have! BUY THIS TODAY!! How can you not love a movie were poodles fly?

Summary: Classic Weird Al Humor!
Review: If you're a Weird Al fan, you will NOT be sorry. If you aren't, you'll probably still enjoy it and might even *become* a Weird Al Fan! The extras (especially the "Deleted Scenes" section) are also a lot of fun to watch and give you better insight into the making of the movie (perfect material for Weird Al junkies).
