Tonight, I introduced the Mother Thing* to the 'Weird Al' Yankovic film UHF. It was not well received by critics on release, and was overshadowed by mega-blockbusters in theaters as well, resulting in earnings of only about $6 million after a $5 million budget. Some of the acting is sub-par. The effects are cheesy. The parodies are absurd. The plot is formulaic. Everything in this 1989 film looks incredibly dated.
In short, this film is awesome and you should watch it.
Is it bad that I feel a deep connection to the attitude of Conan the Librarian?
