Both are very subdued and restrained until you talk to them, and then there is this bubbling energy and creative passion that just comes out and suddenly they're gesticulating wildly with their whole body and going off about whatever topic you just brought up on a long and winding tangent.

    I will never forget when he opened for the Monkees back in 87, I was at the concert in Houston and Al comes down from the stage and starts walking through and seranading the crowd. He came over and was standing about three feet from me. I don't know if he saw or made eye contact with me, but seconds later, a bunch of screaming girls take after him, and in seconds, he runs down to the base of the level, jumps over the metal railing, lands on his feet in the level below and runs to the stage, barely getting away from the girls, who, if had caught him would have probably torn him apart. Needless to say, I have been a fan of his ever since.

    It really is a great movie. Radcliffe keeps showing his range, above and beyond the Potter phenomenon. I liked him quite a bit in "Horns," a fine flick with an interesting premise and a good plot with plenty of moving drama.
    I think Radcliffe is specially good at showing how a real person actually feels throughout all those challenging moments. Overwhelmed, confused, intense. In some movies he gets to do it in a serious way. In this one, he does it in a mix of serious and funny. Again, great range there. His "wtf" face is just up there.
    At a first glance, one may not SEE him as Weird Al. But when you give it a chance, it's clear they NAILED it.
    This movie is a treat for both newcomers and those who know Weird Al from way back. The over the top, silly, absurd, witty brand of humor he does, just never gets old. Whether Weird Al is new to you, or you pretty much expected such a level of crazy.
    It's one of my favorite kinds of humor, and I guess it shows xD
    I certainly expect a lot of surprised people out there, seeing as there's surely a generational gap since Weird Al is an '80s thing first. And Radcliffe attracts mostly younger people, even though the Potter phenomenon trascends generations.
    But I bet most of the newcomers got to enjoy it.
    In any case, it's a flick for everyone to have fun. You can totally see it in the cast, and they transmit it smoothly to the audience.
