Maybe this generations Spinal Tap? It's not all time like that was, but it's close. Some really great gags and songs go with the humdrum plot and standard tropes, but it's funny enough that it all works anyway. Worth a watch.
Comedy is very personal. That said I didn't find this laugh out loud funny at any point.I've enjoyed Brooklyn 9 9, the spoof videos of Andy Samberg, and Spinal Tap (which this is oft likened to). I saw a lot of similarities to All gone Pete Tong, but that was a much funnier film.This felt like it ticked all the boxes, but will probably be found funnier by a younger audience as condescending as that sounds. There just wasn't a great deal there, and what there was felt pretty forced/lame/cliche.Hell, give it a whirl. It wasn't terrible, but it could have been a lot lot better.
It's the story of popstar Conner Friel (Andy Samberg). He started out in The Style Boyz with his childhood friends Owen and Lawrence. As they gain success, Conner and Lawrence end their collaboration. Owen is push to the side as Conner becomes superstar Conner4real.This is more Spinal Tap than I expected. I expected a satire of Justin Bieber instead. I hoped for some peeing in a bucket. There isn't anything as memorable as 11 but I do like the character. I like the journey and ultimately the friendship. There are some laughs and general fun overall. This is a solid addition to the mockumentary genre.
I have watched this movie more times than I care to admit. It is funny. Just it is. I love Andy Samberg. Loved it. Watch it every time it is on. 43 year old mom. Love this movie. The Bin Laden song- golden. It is spot on in so many ways and honestly it is just comedy genius. I had different things in my Jeep. Sarah Silverman, it is all just so much.
