Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
Directed by Lonely Island's own Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, Popstar is a faux-documentary comedy about the rise, fall of Conner4Real. Originally apart of a boy band, Conner4Real leaves his group to go solo only to get full of himself, similar to other real life pop stars. The film pokes fun at real pop stars throughout the film.
Conner4Real is played by SNL and Lonely Island's Andy Samberg. He plays the silly, ignorant and sometimes stupid pop star. There was no real acting done since Andy was playing himself. I didn't like That's My Boy, or Hot Rod, and the only film I liked him in was I Love You, Man where he played a small but memorable role.
Jorma Taccone plays Owen, Conner4Real's best friend and one third of Styleboyz which is their boy band. The other third is Lawrence the last of the Lonely Island, Akiva Schaffer. Owen is the friend that never left, where Lawrence plays the one who left. This adds a bit of conflict for a film that really is just a conglomerate of music videos.
The problem with the film is that I had already seen many of the funny moments on YouTube. I know a majority of movie-goers don't follow the Lonely Island and it shows in the box-office. I counted three times the film made me laugh, but I imagine if I had not seen the publicity and went in blind I might have laughed more.
Verdict: I can't say don't see the film. It is going to offend an older audience, 100%. It's funny, and that's what a comedy is supposed to do. For that I recommend watching it.
