Reviews
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
rileycoules Popstar is just another method by which Hollywood controls the people. Stupid, vulgar, unoriginal, incredibly immature (oh how we instill terrible values in our youth!), lowly, mean spirited, and rarely, if ever funny. Even the content that garnered a reaction from me seemed to do so unintentionally. The copious amounts of positive reviews on here make me wonder if IMDb manifests its own conspiracy...Underlying the "comedic" subsistence of the film is a message: the pop music industry is built upon formula, not talent, not originality, NOT the genuine desire to guide the people's consciousness-- or moral compass-- toward higher mentalities. Unfortunately, "The Lonely Boys" follows the same formula, in effect overshadowing some enlightened realizations with yet more unenlightened ones.No good. Don't believe the positive reviews unless you're an impressionable, susceptible 12 year-old. In which case, don't watch the movie at all!
Charles Herold (cherold) This silly, guest-star-laden comedy follows a former boy-band star turned solo star turned failing solo star. Andy Samberg plays the self- involved, narcissistic star as he lets a big head eat away at his career.The song parodies are wonderfully accurate parodies of banal, pretentious pop music, and there are some very funny scenes, particularly one involving wolves. But the movie always feels rather slight. Samberg's character has little depth, so his fall from grace feels less like the tragedy of hubris and more like a jerk getting his comeuppance, which means you never really care about the story. It's a very jokey, superficial film, so when it's funny you enjoy it but every time the humor weakens you think, why was I watching this again.While not as funny as Samberg's series, Brooklyn Nine-nine, it's definitely fun.
jtindahouse I wasn't quite sure what to expect going into 'Popstar: Never Stop Stopping'. When it comes to Andy Samberg I find his music very funny, but his comedy styling and acting are not so much to my taste. So I was pleasantly surprised to find myself having a very good time with this film. Right from the start it was genuinely funny and the music was catchy and hilarious in only the style that 'The Lonely Island' can achieve.There are an enormous amount of celebrity cameos, all of which are cleverly done and seem like the person really bought into it. The story, while a playoff of Justin Bieber obviously, is actually really investing and well structured.When it comes to comedy I find it's almost always a case of simply asking yourself, how funny was it? In the case of 'Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping' though it feels like there were more layers to it than that. You can appreciate the music, the story and the send up of Bieber. I don't think this did overly well at the box office (was it marketed very well? I never heard about it until well after it was released) which is a shame. I would recommend giving this one a look.
lauren-14953 I have watched this movie more times than I care to admit. It is funny. Just it is. I love Andy Samberg. Loved it. Watch it every time it is on. 43 year old mom. Love this movie. The Bin Laden song- golden. It is spot on in so many ways and honestly it is just comedy genius. I had different things in my Jeep. Sarah Silverman, it is all just so much.
