Conner is quite the dimbulb, and Samberg plays him with the trademark sweet goofiness that’s his most reliable performing mode. The movie cheerfully skewers pretty much every convention of pop music manufacturing.

...an amiably goofy, often funny music mockumentary...

...squeezes laughs out of its tale like juice from a plum.

...spot-on pop parody.

...en sådär härligt bisarr komedi som bara The Lonely Island kan göra.
