**A fun film, but also very sensible.**

The title clearly says it is a parody of ‘Justin Bieber: Never Say Never’. I haven’t seen that, but this film was so fun. Just like another ‘Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story’. If you like the combination of music and comedy, this is for you. I think the writing was the best thing, even the lyrics of the songs. The directors did their part very well, but in the end it was the actors who saved the film. Andy Samberg was splendid.

The film was narrated in a documentary style like a series of interviews which also includes behind scenes, I mean unedited clips like the live recording. It is the story of three members of a famous band in America. When everything was going well for them, the split happens unexpectedly. So the main singer decides to go solo and sees some success. But he struggles through his girlfriend and their marriage plans, and also he finds some issue with his manager. You know the makeover begins, how he comes back to his normal life was the remaining film.

It is not anybody’s biography, but you should still watch it. The storytelling is not preoccupied with the drugs and sexes, though there are some amounts, which makes it is good viewing for the adults. Don’t think it is some silly comedy, lots of things from it makes sense. You can enjoy the music and at a time you would have some laughs. Well balanced contents and overall it is a rare comedy.

_7/10_

Perhaps for someone who is more engrained in the pop culture of the day, this would be a success. It’s not that I didn’t understand the references, it’s just that I didn’t care.

_Final rating:★★ – Definitely not for me, but I sort of get the appeal._

Enough hilarious highlights in an otherwise okay movie
The big question heading into “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping” was whether The Lonely Island trio of Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer could make their brand of pop music humor work in a format that lasts longer than three minutes. Not surprisingly, it’s in different three-minute clips that “Popstar” works best.

“Popstar” is a music mockumentary following a pretty standard faux biography structure: Conner4Real (Samberg) is a huge star who made it on his own after many of years of success as a member of the Nasty Boyz, a trio with his childhood best friends, Owen (Taccone) and Lawrence (Schaffer). The story predictably follows his rise and fall, narrating it with a host of cameos from actual music celebrities playing themselves as well as supporting characters.

Conner is an over-the-top caricature of the dumbest celebrity you can imagine, and Lonely Island makes sure that there’s no element of his music or rise to fame that you take seriously. Ripping into pop music culture, however, isn’t the movie’s focus. It’s a film about a music group because its creators’ gimmick is musical comedy. The goal, presumably, was to create outrageous characters and scenarios, not create stinging satire.

“Popstar” opts for the machine gun style of comedy, unloading jokes in rapid succession knowing that if at least a majority of them stick, they’ve done their job. Ostensibly, that strategy works. A number of gags land and feel like rather original jokes, too. From a wolf attack to a wardrobe malfunction to an argument in a limo that’s besieged by naked body parts, the sequences constructed with the intention of being funny often are, it’s the wedged-in jokes that aren’t centerpieces that fall flat.

Surprisingly, the comedy songs used in this movie aren’t the highlights. Conner’s single about equality in which the lyrics are all about how he’s not gay even though he’s singing about LGBTQ rights is pretty standard for Lonely Island. Fans of their music will be pleased, but the comedy really comes from the joke-writing and the occasional quick-witted dialogue exchanges.

Nothing about the plot is surprising or particularly clever, however, and knowing exactly what direction they’re going to take the story within the first 10 minutes weighs down the ceiling for what “Popstar” could be. If more jokes missed than hit, this flaw would be abundantly apparent and have caused the whole movie to collapse.

The Lonely Island brand of cleverly packaged immature humor won’t be a hit with everyone, but it definitely salvages “Popstar,” at least enough that I can highly recommend the clips.

Not my flavour of comedy
Hmm, I think I’m missing something here or I’m late to the party because I don’t get it. I’m only familiar with The Lonely Island’s viral music videos like “I’m On A Boat” to which I’m not really a fan of either. I know this comedy trio isn’t a complete write-off though because people like Jimmy Fallon and the Saturday Night Live crew were behind them and they’ve been about since the mid-2000s. However, it really isn’t my kind of comedy.

It’s a musical mockumentary which suddenly gave me flash-backs of David Brent but superbly involved music superstars like 50 Cent, Usher, DJ Khale, Naz and Ringo Star, either getting performances from Seal and Michael Bolton. P!nk, Akon, Adam Levine, Mariah Carey and even Simon Cowell, in fact there’s so many it’s quite impressive and hard to keep up.

We follow Connor4Real (Andy Samberg) who has to come to terms with the looming fact he’s no longer the brand name of the pretentious music industry. The film documents his split from the original line-up of The Style Boyz and his relationship with remaining member DJ Owen (Jorma Taccone) and fallout with ex-member Lawrence (Akiva Schaffer, who both direct this movie.)

There’s small parts galore which are borderline cameos excluding the musicians, Sarah Silverman, Joan Cusack, Maya Rudolph, Imogen Poots and even British Inbetweener James Buckley with the only other people worth mentioning is there manager Harry played by SNL regular Tim Meadows and Chris Redd who played the limelight stealing rapper, Hunter, echoing David Brent again.

It’s a total parody of the current pop music world and while it has some great satire it failed to make me laugh out loud and I don’t remember anyone else in screening did either. It’s dragged for a short 87mins runtime but what I was impressed with was the silly songs and the set pieces that were were spot on.

I can only imagine fans of The Lonely Island will find this amusing I would recommend those to watch it and I’m interested to hear what they think. I can’t knock their performances but for me, it was a waste of time and not something I would watch again. Just isn’t my kind of comedy.
