The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

There are not a lot of words to describe the strange, yet hilarious movie that is UHF. Weird Al is one of my favorite musical talents, and this movie feels like one of his songs with a beginning, a climax, and a conclusion. This movie knows it's cheesy so it goes full force on being a crazy, zany experience for the audience. My favorite scene in the movie is definitely "Town Talk with George Newman". Probably because of "Lesbian Nazi Hookers captured by UFO's and forced into weight-loss programs. This week on Town Talk." It's such a surreal scene because it just cuts from another scene to that like you should've expected it.In conclusion, if you a fan of the 80's or Weird Al, this movie is a must see!

"UHF" is a comedy that you can watch again and again with a couple of years in between. It is a silly movie which includes elements of spoofs in the likes of "Hot Shots" and "Scary Movie".The story is about George and Bob whom are fired from a fastfood restaurant and end up running a small local TV station. As they come up with wacky TV shows their station grows in popularity, a thing that does not sit well with the TV mogul of another TV station. And with the threat of being bought out, George has to raise a lot of money in order to stay on the air.Now, there are better comedies available for sure, but "UHF" does offer some good laughs in the company of "Weird Al" Yankovic, Michael Richards, Fran Drescher and Kevin McCarthy.The spoofs on other movies were quite hilarious, especially the one made on "Rambo".If you enjoy comedy, and have nothing else to watch, give "UHF" a chance, it might just be what you are looking for.

Like a living, breathing Weird Al album, this has plenty of highs and lows. I can think of a dozen reasons to hate this movie, but it still inexplicably holds a warm place in my heart. The paper-thin plot, for example, is really only there to serve as a vehicle from one skit or song to the next, like the host of a feature-length variety show. Al must have mingled with the right circles on the comedy scene, though, because an odd blend of before-they-weres fill out UHF's cast: Fran Drescher, Victoria Jackson and an especially hyperactive, scene-stealing Michael Richards would all go on to bigger things later in life. It's a cult comedy in the same vein as The Kentucky Fried Movie, in that it does its thing without a care in the world, but outside of a few outstanding, timeless gags and a huge spoonful of heart, it's not really all that good.

Imaginative daydreamer "Weird Al" Yankovic (as George Newman) and pal David Bowe (not Bowie) lose their jobs flipping burgers. Fortunately, Mr. Yankovic's uncle Stanley Brock (as Harvey) wins the deed to "UHF" TV channel 62 and Yankovic takes over as manager. He decides to switch from reruns of "Mr. Ed" to weird, all-new programming. Yankovic's original scheduling is a surprise hit, which irks competing station manager Kevin McCarthy (as R.J. Fletcher). Goofy janitor turned TV star Michael Richards (as Stanley Spadowski) is a hilarious highlight. Weird Al and director pal Jay Levey telegraph some very funny physical comedy. And, like the dramatic "Network" (1976), some of the satire herein is dead-on...******** UHF (7/21/89) Jay Levey ~ 'Weird Al' Yankovic, Michael Richards, David Bowe, Kevin McCarthy
