Never Stops being funny

Rating: 6/10 (6 June 2016)

The Lonely Island crew return to the big screen. It has been some years since Andy Sandberg's starring role Hotrod. His star power has ebbed and flowed over the year and from the abysmal box office performance of this first film's opening weekend, it looks like he can't carry a summer movie to a large profit. Despite the low performance, Popstar is a decently funny film.
Sandberg extends a Saturday Night Live skit into Connor4Real, a clueless pop icon on the verge of releasing his second solo album and recording a documentary. The story hints a lot oat Sandberg's other two Lonely Island bandmates Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer. Early in Connor's career, the group formed the StyleBoyz and became popular from a ridiculous dance known as the DonkeyRoll.
