Popstar: Never Stop, Never Stopping (15)

Comedy, Music

When it becomes clear that his solo album is a failure, a former boy band member does everything in his power to maintain his celebrity status.

The critical consensus

Despite the efforts of its talented writing team, this airy spoof set in the the world of pop falls disappointingly flat.

An absolute blast, with a frenetic strike-rate and songs that will worm their way into your ears for days. Like Conner, this comedy’s for real.

The Lonely Island crew send up the Biebers and 1Ds of this world with a sharp spoof popumentary.
