Review of Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016) by Michael M — 04 Feb 2017
Do you like The Lonely Island? You'll probably enjoy this movie. It's a fake music documentary about the rise-and-fall of a Bieber-esque popstar featuring tons of music that could have been perfectly at home in any of their digital shorts.
Is it funny? Sure. Is it hilarious? Eh, not really. Is it clever? Kind of. Does Michael enjoy speaking in questions? Sometimes. Point is, it's an enjoyable enough film that breezes by very quickly but it never had any huge belly laughs for me.
I was chuckling through the whole thing, but there weren't any moments that were that one moment that I will be thinking about and laughing at for the next three weeks. I enjoyed the premise, I loved the songs, and everyone involved is clearly having a lot of fun, but it's just not great.
It's the type of thing I'd watch again if I wanted a fun time with some goofy songs, but probably not if I wanted to laugh a lot.
