Summary: Twinkie Wiener Sandwich
Review: I just watched the DVD and I must say it has the most incredible special features and a great running commentary with a few surprises here and there; and a heartbreaking 'end of' commentary where Al relives his experiance with UHF bombing initially. My heart is still pounding from watching the legend in his own time 'Weird Al' Yankovic at his best! Gauranteed satisfaction!! What summer blockbusters like Ghostbusters or Honey I Shrunk The Kids rose to THIS cult favorite level?? This shows that good things come to those that wait. Keep up the good work Al and can't wait to hear the new ALbum.

Summary: EXCELLENT!
Review: I loved the movie UHF when I first saw it, so naturally I was excited when I saw it available on DVD. I watched it and I was very impressed. Excellent special features (deleted scenes with Al's comedic commentary, Audio commentary featuring Al, the director, Michael Richards, Emo Phillips and Victoria Jackson).This is an excellent movie, and an excellent DVD. This should be in your collection! Jeremy

Summary: Wacky,Wild and Wonderful
Review: This DVD is a must for all weird Al fans.The audio commentary with Al and Jay Leavey is as hilarious as it is elightening. It is easy to see why, after over 20 years, We still love Al!

Summary: GREAT MOVIE, Poor Transfer
Review: How red is red? The movie's terrific and long awaited. No, it's not Shakespeare, but where did it EVER pretend to be anything other than a fun romp. I'd give it 5 stars except for the transfer, which is not a reflection on Weird Al, but rather on MGM. But, hey...I'll take it! GREAT EXTRAS!

Summary: Just like "Purple Rain," but intentially funny.
Review: Not only is the release of this DVD an opportunity to own one of the funniest movies of all time, but it has some of the best extra features you can find on DVD. The commentary track is so funny, that you'll have to watch it more than once because the first time you'll be laughing so hard you'll miss jokes. Michael Richard's commentary is exceptionally hillarious and may even be slighty outdone by Emo Phillips. "Weird Al" Yankovic has so much to say he barely has time to play Jay Levey's man-servent and get him a donut. There are also easter eggs, copius deleted scenes, some genuinely funny production stills and a great music video. Even if you are not a "Weird Al" fan, this is a wonderful DVD to own...

Summary: UHF!! ON DVD!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Review: Ya know, I think that it's about time that UHF gets the respect it deserves. Because, this movie just has to be the best movie ever made in the history of mankind. The special features on this DVD are the best, and, not to mention, that the picture is crystal clear, so, if you just own the crummy VHS, get this DVD today!!! It's great for any "Weird Al" fan, belive me!! And, don't listen to those reviews here that dis the movie, because, it a bunch of bull!! Because, if this movie is so bad, then, how come it has 4 1/2 stars for a rating?? I guess some people just don't have a scense of humor.

Summary: There is NO mastering problem. DVD encoding is perfect.
Review: The freezing of the frames the guy is talking about is when you have a 2 layer DVD, and the DVD player switches layer between the two. Most DVD players you buy have this problem. Super high end DVD players and computer dvd players don't have this problem cause they read the disc a lot faster, and cache the data a lot more.

Summary: Worth the thirteen year wait.
Review: Al, the king of not-going-half-way-with-ANYTHING, has taken full advantage of this DVD, packing it with wacky behind the scenes hijinks, the brilliant UHF music video, and deleted scenes so utterly delete-worthy that Al himself does us the courtesy of fast forwarding through himself. The one feature I really looked forward to, the commentary track, did not disappoint. From the very beginning, with Al singing his own lyrics to the Orion theme music ("Orion.. Orion.. We're bankrupt.. Now..") Al and Jay Levey (but mostly Al) provide a great deal of fun insight as well as some remarkably "he's got to be reading this" type info. But it doesn't stop there. During the Emo Phillips scene, Al wonders whatever happened to Emo, only to hear Emo himself say "I'm right behind you," which is followed by a brief moment or two with the shop teacher himself. Michael "Stanley" Richards also pops in for some moments of utter hilarity, and you can tell everyone's having a blast, very pleased I'm sure, as are we, that this bad boy is finally on a DVD. Even Victoria Jackson gets a phone call at the end to talk about how she would love to talk about how much she enjoyed the film, but has to get back to her scalloped potatoes. And how many commentary tracks actually have the Star of the film physically getting up to grap the director a donut? (And YES, you DO actually SEE Al get up and walk across the screen.) Overall, this is a great film at a great price, and will make you laugh just as much as it was supposed to back when it was blown out of the water by all the huge blockbusters that came out that week way back in 1989. (On my 20th Birthday, no less.)

Summary: UHF= Ultra-Funny & Hilarious!
Review: "Weird Al" Yankovic hams it up with this super-funny movie that'll have you rolling on the floor with laughter. It's non-stop fun. Lots of sight gags, one-liners and just plain goofy antics. Special guests: Emo Phillips & Dr. Demento!

Summary: UHF DVD ~a must have!!
Review: Well, I received my DVD in the mail yesterday, and the first thing I did was look for the one Easter Egg I knew how to find! From the Main Menu, pick Special Features. Then, select any option that is on the other side. You will see Al come on screen to tell you you have to turn the disc over. If you select the same item two more times, Al gets more annoyed each time! Very funny! There are others, but you can find out about them from other fans.... The deleted scenes are hilarious, with Al coming onscreen to comment on them every so often. Running commentary is an option as well. Lots of great stills, and some more cool options like foreign language options for sound and subtitles. Al showed some of us lucky fans at a convention how you could watch UHF in French with Spanish subtitles! lol! The movie itself looks very nice and clear. Al did a great job making this a fun DVD for all the fans! Two thumbs WAY up!!
