Feels like it's made by MTV as a spiritual successor to the iconic 2gether.
I love the first half. The cameos are fun, a little too plentiful, and I am glad we get a decent amount of Tim Meadows. I would have loved Tony! Toni! Toné! Tonee? It loses steam for me about halfway through and doesn't fully recover.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A relentless parade of ridiculous celebrity culture satire, told through the eyes of a delusional pop star catastrophically imploding in real-time. It's a mockumentary that prioritizes joke density and musical performance spectacle over narrative coherence.

Reviews
Can you imagine how huge this movie would have been if MTV and TRL were still relevant? Connor4Real would have been on TRL with Carson Daly promoting it . There would have been a Making the Video episode for "Finest Girl (Bin Laden Song)." The extreme level of cameos would have really thrived in an MTV/TRL world.
It's pretty funny if you're a fan of The Lonely Island. I never thought I'd say this, but it actually has too many cameos for me. Sometimes they're so fast and brief that they have no impact other than taking me out of the moment for my brain to register the cameo. Will Arnett leading the TMZ parody is the standout side bit.
