Mr. Yankovic himself co-writes the very untrue story of his life for Eric Appel's pic, which premiered at Toronto and is set to air on Roku.
A parody of rock biopics that celebrates its subject by completely trashing the facts of his life and career, Eric Appel’sis relentlessly silly, wholesome at heart and so stuffed with cameos it might give you the idea that a couple of generations of cool people love this guy.
Co-written by the artist , it’s a kindred spirit to his songs without being so gag-hungry it forgets how to tell a story. Just like his music, it’s not for everybody, and to be sure, there will be few audiences as hungrily receptive as the one at its Midnight Madness Toronto premiere. But it brought the house down here, and should be a boon to the underdog Roku Channel when it arrives there in November.
