Popstar: never stop never stopping

Childhood friends and teen pop sensations the Style Boyz have long since gone separate ways for many reasons, but when lead singer and front man Connor4Real’s (Andy Samberg) latest album tanks, deep soul searching will be required to get his career back on track, it may even lead to a re-formation of the Style Boyz including members Owen (Jorma Taccone) and Lawrence (Akiva Schaffer), or is it all too late? popstar Poised to become the Spinal Tap of this generation, the Lonely Island boys have written a quick paced low down dirty good time in mockumentary format; a film that serves not only as a love letter to the music industry but also a middle finger, message received and it’s glorious. Pulling in one cameo appearance after another this veritable who’s who of music leaves almost no stone unturned; meanwhile, the musical prowess behind the soundtrack to the film is actually kind of respectable. Comedy trimmed lean with little gristle, no time is wasted in this brief 86 minute romp that is totally worthy of your time. Best and most consistent laughs of the year so far, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is rated R.
