(8-ish / 10) Most movies don't age well. There's a long, storied review pointing out the poorly aged parts of UHF. "What a travesty, it isn't a critical darling!"

In the context of today's media, everything has to make a point (which is a fact equally bemoaned by one of the last hurrahs of Drawn Together). UHF... won't make much of a point about anything if you're looking for that. It won't dare you to reconsider how we think about the world. You probably won't get all the one-liners done in the style of actors who originally said them. This isn't a hipster thing. This is a direct statement to the crowd more likely to watch it on Youtube than VHS.

But what the movie will do is entertain you for its span if you stop looking for something deep and brilliant and just appreciate the simple appeal of the humor. There's no subversive meaning. The most clever moment in the film is an exchange between the main character and the janitor:

[spoiler](Approximately)
Janitor: Something on your mind?
Lead: You don't want to know.
Janitor: Uh - *thinking hard* Why did I ask?[/spoiler]

What there is will be simple humor that is relatable and doesn't require a degree from the School of Arts to appreciate. A movie that doesn't really bother to preach to you and just focuses on being something for which you can turn off your brain and let it control the vertical and horizontal. And zany, off the wall, exaggerated characters that will remind you that Weird Al is someone we should all be thankful is in the world, and equally thankful is one-of-a-kind.

If you find Rick and Morty brilliant but unfunny... or you don't quite get Seinfeld, I suppose... you'll probably appreciate this movie. Just remember to turn your brain off and tell yourself: It's just a movie, and that's all it needs to be.
