Weird: The <PERSON> Story
What gives this a leg up on Walk Hard is that it's not just roasting the biopic genre, but an actual biography. Yet this is burdensome, in a way: the movie is sort of doomed by the inevitability that the funniest thing about it will simply be the fact that it exists. That this is <PERSON> own version of a <PERSON> biopic is, on its face, very funny. 952
The movie itself is almost an afterthought, more amusing than hilarious, but the amusement value is pretty high—especially if you're a comedy nerd who likes playing spot-the-cameo. The other noteworthy business going on here is <PERSON> incredibly legit evocation of <PERSON>. The movie is all silliness but here's <PERSON> playing it like she's in a straight <PERSON> biopic (yet still sensitive to the film's humorous contours). <PERSON> deserves enormous credit as well for running full-speed at this absurd concept. 585
