Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
The reason Canadian singers move to the States to work is because they're sick of being paid in bags of loonies.
Mind you, the performer in this comedy is only parodying a Canuck crooner.
When his latest album drops like a lead balloon, b-boy turned pompous pop star Conner4Real (Andy Samberg) is left reeling.
Desperate to become relevant for his singing instead of embarrassing stage mishaps, Conner begrudgingly reconnects with the crew (Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone) responsible for his early hits.
But can the reunion withstand the constant call for Conner to remain solo?
A rockumentary in every sense of the made-up word, Popstar's style, including endless celebrity interviews and raunchy road antics, lives up to its designation. But that doesn't mean that every joke in this hipster comedy works – in fact, very far from it.
And as always, when an old band reunites, casinos across the country get excited.
