I couldn't really relate to that song "Things in my Jeep," because personally I have different things in my Jeep.

Several best original song snubs in this and I’m being completely genuine with that. Everything Tim Meadows does is perfect. This is the kind of movie that makes me want to write down my favorite lines but I’d just end up writing a transcript of several scenes. Perfect…

Funny parody in the spirit of This Is Spinal Tap
nevan lovedPopstar: Never Stop Never Stoppinggenuinely hilarious with a great narrative and spot-on performances; the best work from the lonely island with some of their best music and definitely their most fully fledged out cinematics and musical pieces. andy samberg is phenomenal
Mr Booty likedPopstar: Never Stop Never StoppingSuch an enjoyable movie. Funny, with tons of cameos. I saw someone say it had the same heart as Spinal Tap and I agree 100% Worth a watch!
- Carson Withers likedPopstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
This and naked gun (2025) are like 73% funny and then the other 27% is painstaking agony
Dani dislikedPopstar: Never Stop Never StoppingMight be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. But still had some funny parts.
NathanDirector lovedPopstar: Never Stop Never StoppingThe Lonely Island trio – Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, and Andy Samberg – bring their signature brand of absurd musical comedy to the big screen with Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. This mockumentary hilariously skewers the excesses and egos of the pop music industry. My initial reaction was…
- Sugama lovedPopstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
Ridiculously hilarious through and through… the parodies and references are on point and I just could not stop laughing basically the entire time… the songs are so catching and actually kinda good and the overall writing is excellent, so many cameos — budget was probably nuts 🎤🐢🇺🇸
Liam dislikedPopstar: Never Stop Never Stopping50 cent, Usher, Nas, Ringo, Adam Levine, Akon, Mariah Carey, Big Boy, DJ Khaled, a$ap rocky, Eric Andre, Justin Timberlake, Emma Stone, RZA, T.I., Seal, Pharrell Williams, Snoop Dogg, Jimmy Fallon, and weird Al Yankovic. Still couldn’t make a good movie
Nicole Clement is "meh" onPopstar: Never Stop Never StoppingIt was okay but honestly it’s not the best it just feels a little repetitive. Everything is a continuation of his failure it starts at one and then it just keeps going. Just seems like that’s the only thing that happens. It’s just a little boring.

Popstar gets to satirize not just music, but also celebrity culture in a way that a movie such as Spinal Tap never could - because, well, the internet and 24-hours news cycle didn't exist in 1984.

Although this might have been considered cutting edge 20 or 30 years ago, it has been done so often in recent years that it feels a little tired.

Genial, silly, and instantly forgettable, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is just another piece of product from the larger “Saturday Night Live” universe, a way for a former cast member to try to prove he’s capable of carrying a movie.
