★★☆☆☆ Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is one of those films where you can hear the pitch while you're watching the movie. "It'll be This is Spinal Tap for the millennials, for the Beliebers," is probably how it went. And the prospects were good. It's a comedy from the team who brought you the sporadically hilarious The Lonely Island - Adam Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone - the guys whose digital shorts livened up many an episode of Saturday Night Live and at least one afternoon trawling YouTube instead of working. The big question would have been can the bite-sized joke been spun out into the heftier meal of a feature? And the answer is no, not really. Actually, not at all.
