Amusing comedy that pokes fun at pop culture and idolatry

Rating: 8/10 (1 July 2016)

Although it gets a bit old after awhile, this is still a ingenious comedy that pokes fun at pop culture and how stupid worshiping idols really is. It's a parody comedy that is set in documentary form, kind of like those documentaries that try to portray how great pop singers are as they go on tour. Sure, this movie uses a like of pop- culture references and celebrity cameos for most of it's humor. But c'mon the title of this movie is "Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping". I usually found the The Lonely Island crew to be pretty darn funny with there skits and music videos. So for a movie like this, they really brought all their talents to the table. The direction when it comes down to it, is actually quite predictable and has been done before when it comes to the three amigos having a conflict with each other with one being the middle man. But it's not the direction that makes a movie such as this, but it's the process and how the interactions and humor plays out. I give this movie a 8/10 because of it's clever humor. I would have given it a higher score if it still carried the momentum it had that lasted for about an hour, then it started to go downwards. If this movie is not that funny for some viewers, it's at least amusing. Lastly the soundtrack for this movie is tight with it's original track, well at least for a comedy.
8/10
