Rating: 7/10 (22 October 2017)

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016) This is a rockumentary about musical prodigy that formed a rap group with his childhood friends. They gain fame, but eventually split up. Our lead, played NY Andy Samberg, decides to go Solo. The cast includes the rest of the Lonely Island Boys, a parody music group that includes Samberg. Some of their music has been highlighted on Saturday Night Live. There are a handful of musicians that make cameo appearances or play small parts. Done, most likely, to try to give some legitimacy to their fictional characters. This is basically a skit concept turned into a motion picture. This is a hard task and often gets misunderstood by audiences. It didn't fare well in theaters and received mixed reviews, but it does displays Samberg's and friends and gifted talents. If you're a fan of Samberg and the Lonely Island Boys, give this film a try..
