An average movie

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since it was available on Netlix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I have to admit that I was actually rather positively surprised by the damned thing. Indeed, I usually have a hard time to care about such satires. Basiscally, in my opinion, most of them are just too damned moronic but I have to admit that this one was actually not bad at all after all. Above all, the makers (Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone) really nailed the tone of such numerous documentaries dealing with major pop-stars which keeps popping up recently. For example, not so long ago, I watched, also on Neftlix, 'Miss Americana' and, even though it was very well received, I thought it was still fairly pretentious which is always the case with such movies. With this flick, they managed to display how such documentaries try too hard to be deep and meaninful but, eventually, they all end up being rather shallow after all. Furthermore, even if it was expected, it was also pretty neat to see all these actors, singers and celebrities showing up for a cameo. However, even though this movie worked as satire, it was parodying a rather weak genre and, even if it was a decent attempt, I still think it remains a futile exercise. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was nothing really ground-breaking, against my expectations, it turned out to be a decent watch after all and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.ย
