What can I say? This movie is awesome! It's absolutely hilarious! "Weird Al" Yankovic stars as George Newman, a loser who can't keep a job and has no idea why. After losing his job at a restaurant, he happens to go to a party where his aunt gets him a job working for his gambling uncle. So now George has his own UHF station to run. He gets a rough start, but with the help of Stanley, his new janitor, they make it big. UHF is full of parodies, including Indiana Jones and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I really can't explain why it's so funny, but I highly recommend it. I don't suggest it for anyone under 10 years old because they wouldn't get a lot of the jokes, and there is a little bit of violence. (Conan the Librarian chops a guy in half for an overdue book, and Rambo blows a guy up, causing chunks of flesh to fly all over.)
