The Plot: After rapper Connor's (Andy Samberg) new album bombs, he's forced to reform his old boy band to keep his head above water.

Why It's Going To Be Awesome: It's The Lonely Island's own movie, man, with Judd Apatow producing! Plus, the film has roped in an insane cast, including Sarah Silverman, Tim Meadows, Imogen Poots, Bill Hader, Joan Cusack, Maya Rudolph, Will Arnett, Martin Sheen, Adam Levine, Snoop Dogg, Will Forte, Simon Cowell, Carrie Underwood, Seal, and Pink.

It looks like a riotous satire of the music business and the ridiculous enterprise that can be brand management. Is it going to be one of the summer's big hits? Probably not. But does it have the potential to be an hysterically funny cult hit? Absolutely. You always get something fun and outrageous with these guys, and this shouldn't disappoint.
