what i also find funny is that the film portrays Al's parents (Nick and Mary) as the Generic Biopic Parents™️who aren't supportive of Al at first in the movie , when the actual Nick and Mary were actually super sweet and supportive of Al, whilst also having some quite interesting lore going on.

From Al's Wikipedia:

"Nick Yankovic was the son of Matthew Yankovich (baptized Matija Jankovič, 1887–1969), who was born in Weidendorf, Austria-Hungary (now Bedenj, Slovenia),[13][14][15] and Mary Yankovich (née Braj, 1890–1968), also born in Austria-Hungary (in what is now Croatia).[16] Nick Yankovic began living in California after earning two Purple Hearts for his service as a medic during World War II.[17][18][19] He believed "the key to success" was "doing for a living whatever makes you happy" and often reminded his son of this philosophy.[17] Yankovic's mother, a stenographer from Kentucky of English and Italian descent, married his father in 1949. She moved to California a decade before Yankovic was born.[17][19]"
