I grew up loving him too, and his entire career has been based on silliness. So in true Weird Al fashion, he's made a film that works both as an exaggerated parody of his own life, as well as a send-up of biopics in general. And it's funny as hell. Honestly, if it had been a normal true-to-life film, I would have been disappointed.
