	Author	Review
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Justin Bieber is going to hate this movie (...) It’s funny because it gets it RIGHT without ever being too mean-spirited (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"A sharp skewering of Bieber-like stardom (...) 'Popstar' is filled with the sort of sly jokes whose targets music fans should have no problem recognizing"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A superbly silly sendup of the modern musical landscape, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is as thimble-deep as the throwaway hits it’s satirising, but also just as lively"	POS
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"Among the many things it does well — from hilariously quotable lines to catchy, albeit obscene, songs — the mockumentary Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping has found the best use for the poop emoji yet (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Everyone from Bieber to Kanye gets ribbed (...) 'Popstar' mixes the hilarity with a surprising amount of heart (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"This is not Spinal Tap, but that’s O.K. Times have changed (...) 'Popstar' takes aim at everything that is artificial and plastic in contemporary pop in a spirit of love rather than spite"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A mockumentary that might have been funnier as an SNL Digital Short (...) it has a few highly amusing moments, but it’s really a lightweight one-joke comedy."	NEU
