Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
ThiefHott Too much of everything
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
haydenerb Why did this get made??? TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! , ,!!!!!!!!!
Smokey_T Comedy is very personal. That said I didn't find this laugh out loud funny at any point.I've enjoyed Brooklyn 9 9, the spoof videos of Andy Samberg, and Spinal Tap (which this is oft likened to). I saw a lot of similarities to All gone Pete Tong, but that was a much funnier film.This felt like it ticked all the boxes, but will probably be found funnier by a younger audience as condescending as that sounds. There just wasn't a great deal there, and what there was felt pretty forced/lame/cliche.Hell, give it a whirl. It wasn't terrible, but it could have been a lot lot better.
morrison-dylan-fan With Easter coming up,I decided to travel and meet up with a friend a few weeks before the holidays. Looking for a Comedy flick to buy that we could watch together,I went for Girls Trip-which ended up not turning up in time. Going to Birmingham day before the meet-up,I decided look in HMV for an alt choice. Not having a movie in mind,I looked at the shelves,and found a film I had ordered months ago on Ebay that had got lost in the post! This led to me finally becoming a popstar...View on the film: Blending all the major trends in the current music scenes, the screenplay by co-writers/(with Jorma Taccone)co-stars/co-directors Akiva Schaffer & Andy Samberg play a pitch-perfect parody of the times,from the hilariously vicious riffs on social media memes and gossip shows like TMZ, (here called CMZ) to the "bad boy" image Pop stars use to make themselves look edgy,and the deafening beats of EDM. Giving Conner chart-topping tunes,the writers spin super-catchy spoof tracks, ranging from pounding Hip-Hop,to very funny, R&B/Pop tracks on subjects that include Osama Bin Laden. Stealing all of Conner's Pop fame, Chris Redd gives a fantastic performance as rapper Hunter,with Redd giving his stage performances a rough, exciting atmosphere. Looking every inch the modern chart-topper, Andy Samberg gives a great performance as Conner,whose arrogance Samberg uses to keep him completely lacking in self-awareness as all those who worked with him quitting,over Conner believing he is a Popstar who will never stop stopping.
pkollmeier If you're into spoofs, satires and mockumentaries that are funny as he*#, then it's time you threw on Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping. Anyone I've texted about this movie has replied with the same answer of, "It looked so stupid." But, that my friends, is why this movie is so smart. It mocks real life events in the music industry, pop culture, celebrity culture, the news and so much more. It's perfect. Just like Naked Gun, Airplane, and Scary Movie, Pop Star is the perfect mix of satire, realism and just flat out comedy. Of course it's dumb. So are humans and the real world we exist in. That's why it works so well. The best (my favorite) stand-up comics are always the ones commenting on the real world and how they fit into it. Andy Samberg knows how to create a character that seems completely absurd, but in reality, isn't that far off from reality at all. It's amazing to see and this movie is laugh out loud, cry tears type funny. Embrace it and let the good times roll.
