Customer Ratings & Reviews

There is a definitive climactic feel to everything about the latest venture from The Lonely Island, as if a culmination of everything the trio has been working towards since "Lazy Sunday" debuted over ten years ago. Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer have always had a knack for writing these catchy, hilarious spoofs of trending musical styles by taking timely and/or brutally honest perspectives and applying them to legit beats created by credible producers. The trick is they convey their sometimes cutting commentary and other times all out ridiculousness with the mentality of the pop culture machine in that it all feels superfluous and can be enjoyed for its surface level pleasures, but if one cares to look-there is more there. The Lonely Island have applied that same approach and ideology to their latest feature film project as this is very much a mockumentary that is lampooning the trend of pop stars producing their own "behind the scenes" documentaries in order to both appeal further to their established fan base while hopefully converting a few of the uninitiated as well. Out of the big, sprawling narrative we call life the managing teams around the likes of Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, and One Direction have crafted three-act narratives around their phenomenon's in order to give some sense of structure to lives that likely have very little of it. The Lonely Island have taken the idea of this type of branding and selling and picked out every aspect in which they can make fun of thus creating the perfect vessel of sorts for them to both create their own music and release it simultaneously while adding the all-important visual element to those songs in the form of a feature film. As a longtime fan of The Lonely Island and pretty much all they stand for Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping feels like that aforementioned culmination due to the fact this format provides the perfect stage for the type of comedy and social commentary The Lonely Island has always been good at, but have now been afforded the chance to do so on a much bigger scale. Are there issues with the film as a whole? Sure, a few, but to pick out the minor quibbles would be to detract from how much fun it is to watch this deconstruction of not only the music industry, but pop culture in general and the near perfect execution with which it pulls off the task it sets out to accomplish.

Andy Samberg is a riot in this too funny movie about the music biz. If you like The Lonely Island, you'll love this film.

...in that something so wholeheartedly ridiculous survived to complete its journey through the Hollywood machine. In its own way, it's kind of perfect.

Very funny movie with Lonely Island about an up and coming music group.

Great doc on Conner, from his early work with the Style Boyz all the way up to his most recent tour. I watch it with the family every Easter.

This mockumentary about The Lonely Island hands the reigns to Andy Samberg and his friends and you will laugh through the entire film.

Funny movie. Had me laughing my guts out from start to finish

This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen in my life! I thought this film would be garbage but it was the opposite.

Awesome movie. The songs were so catchy I had to download them later. It was so funny I’ve watched it over and over again.

I don't remember seeing this in theaters and heard about it through a friend and it's classic lonely island.

This movie definitely caught me off guard. It was so funny and entertaining throughout. Definitely grab this movie!

The more I watch this, the funnier it gets- my only complaint would be some of the songs getting stuck in my head

This movie is hilarious. Great Great Movie. I love Lonely Island and this movie is just as amazing.

If you like Hot Rod, you will love this money. Story line and characters are hilarious.

From the hilarious monologues, To the amazing celebrity cameos, To the outright offensive song lyrics which leaves you crying with laughter, Pop star: never stop stopping is a must see for any lonely island, Andy Samberg, comedy or even just music lover! I definitely recommend you see this and buy it because the lonely island need to be making more movies if they turn out like this. Go see this movie now, I just can't recommend enough. Though nearer the end of the middle act some of the jokes became dragged on a little bit, also the ending was a little predictable but to be honest i think the film was designed to be predictable, as it is parodying various musical artists. Apart from that the film isn't far from a perfect comedy.

Go watch Hot Rod as well! It's another great movie by the same people who made this film.

Love this movie. Haven’t had a good laugh like that in a while. Really good comedy.

Funniest movie I’ve ever seen. Andy Samberg is great. IT IS RATED R FOR A REASON.

Found this in the sale bin and after watching all of Brooklyn nine-nine and loving Andy Samberg in that I thought I’d give this movie a try. Cheaper here than anywhere else. Worth the watch but stupidly cheesy.

You gotta see this movie if you liked Hot Rod or any other Lonely Island media
