Popstar makes use of its star filled cast and musically talented stars to give us an entertaining movie experience. The movie stars the comedy music group The Lonely Island (led by SNL alumnus Andy Sandberg) and focuses on an over the top flamboyant artist after his break up with his former band (which consists of fellow Lonely Island members, and directors of the movie, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone) forces him to go solo. The movie is a mockumentary of movies like Never Say Never (the Justin Bieber documentary) or This is Us (the One Direction documentary) as it focuses on a musician and the ups and downs of his career.
Fans of The Lonely Island will be more than satisfied with all the new songs the team has created for this movie. After listening to the album I can say that this is my favorite Lonely Island album out of all of them. There are so many catchy and funny songs on the album that will make any fan of the group laugh out loud.
Popstar is not one of those movies you need to think about to much. If you take it at face value you will have an enjoyable time. It can get a little low-brow at times but for every joke that falls flat there's two good ones waiting in the distance. If you are looking to sit down and have a couple a laughs for a while than this is the movie for you.
Rating: 3.5 stars
