The Mrs. and I went to a pre-screening of this film Friday night and absolutely loved it. This is the new Lonely Island movie done in a "Popumentary" format and it was much funnier than we anticipated. Fortunately, they save the best jokes and moments for the actual movie and not just the trailer. If you are a fan of any of the Lonely Island material, you are going to absolutely love this!

So there is an all-out media blitz for this now. I have to say that the less time you spend watching the trailers, the more you will enjoy this one. They gave away one of the funniest (yet predictable) moments from the movie in their most recent trailer.

Still, it has been good to see "Conner4Real" perform on the Voice and SNL.

On the fence on this one because of the name Apatow on the poster

Sitting at 80% right now and looks like it'll be certified fresh. I'm telling you, this will not disappoint you. If you enjoy any of the Lonely Island stuff - you're going to really like this movie. Go have fun!

So I just googled "lonely island" and I immediately understood like a dozen internet references that I was clueless about before.

Hysterical! Definitely listening to the soundtrack over and over again! It's on Spotify and Apple Music for those who are interested!

The only real knock on Apatow is his tendency to run long. And at less than 90 mins, that's not a problem at all here.

Really fun movie, don't think this one will get a ton of attention in theatres(it's got a smaller release and slim marketing), but will catch on as a home watch, which it's probably better suited for.

I enjoyed Neighbors 2 more, but it was a good summer comedy worth seeing.

Saw last night. Outstanding. Great lyrics throughout and the cameos were excellent.

I'm a Samberg fan. He cracks me up. Watch every episode of Brooklyn 99 and quote hot rod on a daily basis. Looking forward to this one.

Different, but I would say as enjoyable. Maybe more because this had songs I can pull up.

We saw it last night and laughed a LOT. We didn't expect a ton going in and were really surprised - the lonely island guys are pretty clever. The cameos were fantastic and really well done. Though at one point I was expecting Johnny Manziel to show up in some of the party scenes, and not realize it was a movie.

The TMZ office scenes were hysterical.

As 2007 said, it doesn't have the usual Apatow lack of editing issue - the movie moves along pretty quickly.

That's because Apatow didn't edit/direct it.

I think Akiva and Jorme have done a great job directing all the SNL shorts and lonely island videos, and they directed this one.

thought it was pretty damn funny. Some jokes fell flat at times, but overall it was really well done.

the CMZ scenes had me rolling.

Enjoyed this movie. Liked it more than Neighbors 2 as well. I liked the style of the movie, and it was pretty funny all the way through. I'm a big fan of those guys.
