It's the story of popstar Conner Friel (Andy Samberg). He started out in The Style Boyz with his childhood friends Owen and Lawrence. As they gain success, Conner and Lawrence end their collaboration. Owen is push to the side as Conner becomes superstar Conner4real.This is more Spinal Tap than I expected. I expected a satire of Justin Bieber instead. I hoped for some peeing in a bucket. There isn't anything as memorable as 11 but I do like the character. I like the journey and ultimately the friendship. There are some laughs and general fun overall. This is a solid addition to the mockumentary genre.

Popstar Never Stop Popping appeared to be a parody of many artists and popstars mockumentary style concert type films in music. This film shows a very realistic view point of how artists go through fame and shows the ups and downs of the music industry. The budget as relatively low but they made the film very much watchable and unique with all the cameos and extra stunts. One can tell they did their research and Adam Sanberg put a lot of effort into the making of the film. Having doubts of how exactly the film would, Never Stop Popping exceeded my expectations and was a lot better than expected. The film is quite short which works well in its favor as it does not overstay its welcome (meaning it doesn't drag on). The parodying of TMZ was another unique and funny aspect of the film. This film flopped which is a shame but nonetheless not surprising. Recommended for those who enjoy Lonely Island or are seeking a concert type comedy. As a rewatch 08/05/18' Popstar feels better and moves more smoothly on a second watch. Highly recommend as this film is quite overlooked but then again is for an acquired taste in comedy and music of sorts. Enjoy and don't take the film too serious.

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.

The film is an honest attempt to make mockumentary and stuff it with as many clichés and nudges as possible about the entertainment world. Several guest stars playing themselves did help a bit to create the atmosphere.It leads us through patches in the career of a pop rap musician in his plight for a place in the spotlight after he had fall out with his boy band members. Think of Robbie Williams going solo or something like that but without heavy drugs or drinking. Mine favourite is from Mariah Carrey, who probably _is_ the most humble person she knows : ) The plot is quite predictable from the start, there were some nice twists though. The most of the songs are really politically incorrect, (even reminded a bit of Borat franchise). The last song is actually a hoot, no pun intended : ) ..Final thought: If you into this kind of films the documentary about Heath Ledger if definitely worth watching.
