Hilarity From Beginning to End,

Rating: 8/10 (9 August 2017)

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is a terrific movie with a very well developed plot and a top notch comedic cast. If you are a fan of the Lonely Islands, then this movie is not to be missed, and it is exactly what you would expect from the trio's first feature length project. It is a laugh riot from start to finish as we follow Connor separating from his group Style Boyz, trying to make it as a solo artist. What follows is a consistently funny, always energetic and never tedious ninety minutes that is a pure delight. There are many great songs featured throughout, which we have come to expect from the group, they really went above and beyond for this project.
I was a little underwhelmed, I was very excited for this film, and was hoping it would be a nine for pure comedy gold, but it ended up being an eight for me. I really just felt that the plot could have gone further, I would like to have seen Connor in more ludicrous situations before making peace with his best friends. I felt the screenplay really had the potential to go anywhere, but it played a little safe.
The cast is phenomenal. Of course, Andy Samberg is stellar as Connor 4Real, a snobby, arrogant, lovable artist that the versatile comedian nails. As well as that, Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer, Sarah Silverman and Tim Meadows shine in main roles, while there are also a ton of priceless cameos throughout that I will not spoil, but each one is well casted and simply hilarious.
Ridiculous fun from beginning to end. Stellar cast, comedically brilliant and boasting some excellent original songs, I would highly recommend Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping to anyone looking for a good comedy.
A member of boy band Style Boyz tries to make it as a solo artist, however, it proves difficult to break away from what originally made his famous.
Best Performance: Andy Samberg
