Universal/Open Road FilmsThis weekend, something that is special beyond words will hit theaters. The film world will never be the same. Our entire lives will change. We're talking about the release of Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.
That's because, after viewing this hilarious flick, you'll never be able to look at any pop star the same way again. Seriously, it will ruin you for all of your musical crushes—but in the best way possible. The movie is a mockumentary that's ripped right from the headlines; they've out Dick Wolf-ed Dick Wolf. It follows Conner 4 Real (played by Andy Samberg), a former member of a successful boy band who goes solo and turns into music's biggest celebrity.
There isn't one scene in Popstar that isn't eerily similar to the more insane antics we see from pop stars every day, whether Conner is uploading snapchats from his hover board ("Conner's Confession: Hover board Edition!), employing a Perspective Manipulator to make him look taller in pictures (spoiler alert: It's just a short guy who stands next to him) or defiling the Anne Frank house.
But the flick doesn't just spoof every aspect of Hollywood, it takes aim at the concert documentary genre in general—anyone who will actually cop to having watched Justin Bieber's Believe will find a lot of familiar scenes. The resemblance is uncanny, and as such it screamed for a dedicated Who Said It quiz. So we dare you to guess: Are the below quotes from the farcical Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping or the very, very real Justin Bieber's Believe?
