Finally, after more than 40 years in the music industry, “Weird Al” Yankovic is baring it all in “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” a biopic that tells the story of his oppressive childhood, his journey to becoming the biggest recording artist of all time, his torrid love affair with Madonna and his fall from grace due to drugs and alcohol.

What’s that you say? None of that sounds right? Well, it's at least as accurate as every other musician biopic.
