One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Micah Lloyd
Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This movie is unquestionably a product of its time. UHF TV stations, Weird Al at the height of his popularity, and parodies of popular movies/shows from 80's. The movie is filled with things that should date it to the point of being unenjoyable, yet that doesn't happen. The movie works, even today 26 years later. It doesn't just work. It works really, really well. It's almost baffling that it does. But therein lies the beauty of UHF, you don't need to understand the references. You don't need to know who Weird Al is. The jokes are funny despite this.This movie wouldn't work if it was made today. No one would bother trying to raise $75,000 to run a UHF station when they could make a channel on YouTube for a fraction of the cost. But the UHF station is just a framework to parody a wide range of shows and movies, including the best Rambo parody of all time. But because of that there are a few movies like it. This has kept the movie relevant after all these years. UHF is a must watch classic. If you're a comedy lover, do yourself a favor and watch this film.

Unfortunately this movie is becoming far less relevant in the digital age, because television is a slowly dying invention, fading away behind that god-awful Netflix and Amazon Fire TV crud. But in its time U.H.F. was a laugh riot, and those who remember it from childhood or watched it when it first came out thankfully still appreciate it for its nostalgic value and comedy.It's a Weird Al movie, so yup, it's WEIRD. REALLY WEIRD. It follows a group of oddballs who decide to start up their own U.H.F. (ultra high frequency) station, which quickly becomes more successful than they ever could have dreamed. Accompanied by bizarre music videos, colorful characters, cool music and some of the most hilarious comedy I've ever seen, this is one movie I'll never forget any time soon! Watch it with friends, it's the best way. Pool your cash, order a few pizzas and 2L bottles of soda, gather around your living room or basement with your best friends, family and coworkers and have a blast watching this wonderfully funny movie. Make some popcorn, sing along to the songs, it's a retro and much more fun way to enjoy U.H.F.And tell your guests, NO CELLULAR DEVICES ALLOWED. That way you won't have to worry about turning around only to be disappointed to see your friends' downcast, zombified gazes as they drool over their Smartphones and I-Pads.U.H.F. - Unbelievably Hilarious Film! :D

'Weird' Al Yankovic stars in this comedy based on his wild spoof songs and music videos that made him a cult favorite. He plays George Newman, a daydreaming(and chronically unemployed) man who nonetheless has a beautiful girlfriend(played by Victoria Jackson) who gets frequently upset by his ineptitude. One day, George is given the chance to manage a near-bankrupt UHF TV station that shows old reruns. He hits upon the idea of wild new programming with names like "Wheel Of Fish" and so on. He even enlists the aid of his janitor Stanley Spadowski(played by Michael Richards) to host a children's program, and is a smash hit! Trouble is, a rival affiliate manager(played by Kevin McCarthy) wants him off the air for good... Wildly uneven spoof comedy has brilliant gags like "Gandhi II"(a classic) or a very funny performance by Michael Richards. On the other hand, some stuff falls utterly flat indeed, and film isn't strong enough as a whole to make up for it.
