Laughs and lulls

Rating: 6/10 (7 October 2016)

The Lonely Island boys essentially port their shtick over into a This is Spinal Tap style mockumentary about the ups and downs of a pop rap group in the social media age, and it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect it to be.
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping looks great, feeling every inch the slick production it purports to be, but the wafer thin premise is stretched beyond the breaking point at feature length and likely would've worked much better as an SNL style sketch. Thankfully there are several gut busting moments along the way, making the journey (sorta) worth it in the end.
