Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016) This is a rockumentary about musical prodigy that formed a rap group with his childhood friends. They gain fame, but eventually split up. Our lead, played NY Andy Samberg, decides to go Solo. The cast includes the rest of the Lonely Island Boys, a parody music group that includes Samberg. Some of their music has been highlighted on Saturday Night Live. There are a handful of musicians that make cameo appearances or play small parts. Done, most likely, to try to give some legitimacy to their fictional characters. This is basically a skit concept turned into a motion picture. This is a hard task and often gets misunderstood by audiences. It didn't fare well in theaters and received mixed reviews, but it does displays Samberg's and friends and gifted talents. If you're a fan of Samberg and the Lonely Island Boys, give this film a try..

We have not seen a movie from the Lonely Island, so I was really excited. I did not have high expectations thought for this movie as I thought it would just be like a segment from Saturday Night Live. When I watched it, I was laughing the whole way through. From beginning to end. The genre of a mockmentary was so unknown to me but after watching this, I hope they make more like this. The soundtrack along with the movie was very hilarious as the themes were very creative and sounded like it was come up on the spot. The Lonely Island did not disappoint with this film and it was somewhat a little stupid with like nudity and some really weird songs so that is the reason it did not get a 10. But i did enjoy movie very much and I watch it over and over again.

This silly, guest-star-laden comedy follows a former boy-band star turned solo star turned failing solo star. Andy Samberg plays the self- involved, narcissistic star as he lets a big head eat away at his career.The song parodies are wonderfully accurate parodies of banal, pretentious pop music, and there are some very funny scenes, particularly one involving wolves. But the movie always feels rather slight. Samberg's character has little depth, so his fall from grace feels less like the tragedy of hubris and more like a jerk getting his comeuppance, which means you never really care about the story. It's a very jokey, superficial film, so when it's funny you enjoy it but every time the humor weakens you think, why was I watching this again.While not as funny as Samberg's series, Brooklyn Nine-nine, it's definitely fun.

Scenes in this movie had me laughing harder than I've laughed in a long time. Other scenes fell way short. In its entirety, it is worth it to wade through some jokes that missed the mark to enjoy some spot on satire and comedic excellence.The parts that shine in the movie are the songs. Not Gay had me rolling. The portrayal of how pop culture latches itself onto the social issues of the day, regardless of personal beliefs is hilariously accurate.Samberg shows an amazing ability to be a self-absorbed prick and yet somehow still likable. Too often comedies will sacrifice the laughs to try and draw up a meaningful conclusion to the story, but this movie accomplishes both without sacrificing either.Surprisingly enjoyable. 8/10
