Day 1: UHF

Method of acquisition: Borrowed
Runtime: 97 minutes Year: 1989

Plot: Weird Al goes from fast food clerk to running his own television station which becomes a hit overnight much to the dismay of a rival station owner.

Review: Everything in this movie can be put into at least one of these two categories: wackiness or physical comedy. Michael Richards plays a janitor who gets his own television show and has big teeth! How wacky! There is a battle where Weird Al has really big muscles! Even more wacky! Many of the new television shows that Weird Al puts on the station are wacky spoofs. A really awesome trophy makes a cameo and a good trophy can make up for a lot. All in all, it was awesomely predictable, but not as awesomely bad as I had hoped for.
