I'd go so far as to call it a parody of other rock star documentaries 😉😉

yea and there's something about the way the film does it ... unless you know going in you could almost be fooled into thinking it's a serious and accurate biopic (at least for much of the film) ... which was really fun to watch ... because then there'd be some line or event which is clearly too ridiculous and it all lands but still the mostly serious tone is almost the punch line.

It is NOT meant to be historically accurate, which makes it funnier IMO.

Probably the best stance when dealing with someone like Weird Al

I thought that made it kinda pointless. I wanted to see Al's actual story, and instead I got some weird 2 hour long SNL skit. There were some pretty good parts, like Another One Rides the Bus at the Hollywood party, but the shit with Pablo Escobar was just a waste of screentime IMO.
