Review of Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016) by John W — 18 Dec 2017
Mockumentaries have to walk a fine line between reality and satire. POPSTAR manages not only this, but also freshens the genre with compelling characters, a lot of clever humor, a strong dose of inventive raunchiness that is always funnier than offensive, and a few unexpected thoughtful twists that bring it all home in a meaningful way.
Dense with fast-pitched laugh-out-loud situations and dialog, this well-produced film creates an ensemble vehicle that gives all characters a chance to delight, as well as a spotlight for Andy Samberg to show he's got more than we might have thought.
And, that's a lot.
