Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally, Freddie Mercury was supposed to be at the pool party, but Queen said no. They did, however, allow an appearance by John Deacon, which worked out as Deacon was the one who wrote "Another One Bites the Dust", which is not mentioned in the scene but Deacon's insistence on that song being parodied by Al puts more emphasis on the satirical portrayal of Deacon as a self-centered semi-celebrity.
- Crazy creditsThe end credits feature an original song by 'Weird Al' Yankovic. The lyrics point out a specific person in the credits (production manager for Funny or Die Savvas Thomas Yiannoulou), reference the song credits, and include a reminder that the song itself is technically eligible for Oscar consideration.

Featured review
I swear to God this is the movie of the year
I just finished watching and I am actually blown away. Having it written as a parody is just absolutely genius. This is hands down the best biopic I have ever seen. Not only is this my favorite film of the year, it might now be one of my top favorite films of all time. And the ending is definitely one of my favorite endings of all time. I literally laughed through the entire credits. Even though the film was a parody in a way, the actors still did a fantastic job. Daniel killed it and deserves an award. I thought Evan Rachel Wood was amazing as Madonna. Rainn Wilson was hilarious as Dr. Demento. Love you and thank you Weird Al! Keep being weird everyone!
