Maybe this generations Spinal Tap? It's not all time like that was, but it's close. Some really great gags and songs go with the humdrum plot and standard tropes, but it's funny enough that it all works anyway. Worth a watch.

"Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping" is wonderful musical mockumentary from the Lonely Island boys (Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer). Rather than string a few of their film clips with a tenuous plot, they've created an original movie, with original songs.Gleefully aping Justin Bieber's "Never Say Never", Samberg plays pop-rapper Conner4Real, a former member of boy band The Style Boyz with childhood friends Owen (Taccone) and Lawrence (Schaffer). Conner4Real become a solo superstar and a tabloid darling, his excessive ego and bravado makes Oasis in the nineties look restrained. The film charts the release of Conner's second album Connquest, some questionable appliance-based marketing choices, his friendship-turned rivalry with rapper Hunter the Hungry (Chris Redd) and eventual fall from superstardom. As well as SNL alumni Sarah Silverman, Tim Meadows, Bill Hader and Maya Rudolph, "Popstar" has an impressive list of guest stars, most who've collaborated with Lonely Island, including:Akon, ASAP Rocky, Michael Bolton, Mariah Carey, Régine Chassagne, Simon Cowell, Danger Mouse, DJ Khaled, Jimmy Fallon, 50 Cent, Adam Levine, Nas, Pink, Questlove, The Roots, RZA, Seal, Martin Sheen, Snoop Dogg, Ringo Starr, T.I., Carrie Underwood, Usher and Pharrell Williams. The best cameo is from the always-game Justin Timberlake, playing Connor4Real's put upon tour chef.Samberg - of course - dominates this movie, with Taccone and Schaffer pulling double duty as directors and playing Conner's bandmates."Popstar" deserves its MA rating, with a number of delightfully filthy songs, including "Finest Girl", which uses Osama Bin Laden's death as a sexual metaphor. The soundtrack is a must buy/download for Lonely Island fans.As a mockumentary, "Popstar" won't have the wide appeal - or legacy - of Spinal Tap, but it's still a heap of fun, especially if you love Lonely Island's music.

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..

I came across this quite by accident...expected to hate it...imagine my surprise when I found brilliant satire and nonstop laughs....this a gem that was improperly marketed...I suppose it could be enjoyed by young and old alike...as long as you're well versed in the art of sarcasm and appreciate it...this film doesn't pull many punches and holds its middle finger high to the pop music industry....in hilarious fashion...check it out.
