Adam Sandberg stars in this updated homage to This is Spinal Tap. This time the targets are boy bands and rap. (Fear of a Black Hat was also a Spinal Tap homage, but strictly about rap.)
Sandberg plays a guy a lot like Justin Timberlake, who has some cameos in the film. He starts with a band and eventually goes out on his own. He has initial success that goes to his head and shit goes south.
Cameos galore from Hollywood and the music industry, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think Seal has the line of the movie.
This is not a movie you should sit down to watch though. It's just not good enough for that much focus. Put it on while you're playing Rust or something, so you can laugh at the chuckles, while ignoring the dumb shit.

I thought they should have spent A LOT more time on the musical stuff. IIRC, they only showed 3 or 4 small snippets of the music.

I thought CB4 was the Spinal Tap of rap gruops.
