<p>In a world starved for accordion heroes, a young Al Yankovic dreams of a life far beyond the constraints of his oppressive, no-polka household. This wildly irreverent and genre-bending "biopic" chronicles the meteoric rise of the world's most famous musical parodist, played with manic dedication by [c=Daniel Radcliffe]. From his humble beginnings crafting food-based lyrics to becoming a global icon, Al's journey is a surreal tapestry of fabricated celebrity encounters, absurd chart-topping rivalries, and a torrid, dangerous romance with the queen of pop herself, Madonna, portrayed by [c=Evan Rachel Wood]. As Al grapples with the dark side of fame, artistic integrity, and the pressures of living up to his own "Weird" legend under the guidance of a bombastic mentor, [c=Rainn Wilson] as Dr. Demento, the film gleefully shreds the rulebook of the traditional music biopic. Directed by [c=Eric Appel] and co-written by the man himself, this comedy is a hilarious and heartfelt celebration of how one peculiar man with an accordion defiantly marched to the beat of his own, decidedly odd, drum.</p>
