"UHF" is a good parody film, although the movies that it parodies are all now a little dated, as is UHF itself.
A good parody can't just go from skit to skit.
It has to have its own plot, and its own characters we can empathize with. UHF pulls that off.
But only regular filmgoers who are familiar with 1980s films will care.
Who should see this film:
-- comedy lovers with nothing better to do on a rainy day,
or if you've a fondness for 1980s films
I'll give UHF a giving-in-to-nostalgia 7 out of 10.
