Popstar

Never Stop Never Stopping
Aug 23, 2017uzebdrumz rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
The Lonely Island is an American comedy trio, formed by Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg, and Jorma Taccone that gained notoriety by satirizing pop/rap videos & songs with their own blend of musical mayhem & pop culture insight. Popstar brings that satire to the big screen mirroring the mocumentary style of "This is Spinal Tap." I cannot imagine a time when people will quote this film verbatim, simply because nobody has the genius to say the word "dubly," there wasn't even a hint of a puppet show, & it doesn't go to eleven; "Popstar" will perhaps become a footnote in the epic genre defined by Tap. It's entertaining, slapstick, in your face humour that mocks the music industry & includes several music icons like Weird Al Yankovic, Mariah Carey, 50 Cent, P!nk, Seal, Snoop Dogg, Michael Bolton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Usher, & many more.
