Good concept, poorly executed.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This was decent and shows some really cool insight in who Conan O'Brien is as a person. However, I would've liked much more on stage footage, especially some of the stand-up, and less singing and behind the scenes content. Sure, the behind the scene stuff is what gives some of the insight but a lot of it got rather repetitive and boring. I was hoping for a raw, stand-up special with some behind the scenes content, instead what we get is a documentary on Conan's tour with a few brief flashes of comedy thrown in. If you're a fan of Conan's show and his style of humor then sure, check it out. If you're more a fan of stand-up than this isn't really what you're looking for.

'CONAN O'BRIEN CAN'T STOP': Three Stars (Out of Five)Documentary following Conan O'Brien and his six month comedy tour 'The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour', during the time he was banned from appearing on TV by NBC (after his dispute with scheduling). The film appears to be a pretty open and honest examination of all the drama O'Brien was caught up in, showing him often not in the most flattering light. It's funny, due to O'Brien and others usual comedic banter, but at the same time a serious look at that stage in the comedic talk show host's life. It works on some levels and not so much on others due to some mediocre directing and editing in my opinion. It was directed by Rodman Flender, who has a great deal of experience directing television and B horror films (like 'LEPRECHAUN 2'). I think in the hands of another director the film could have been a much more efficient and entertaining documentary.The movie begins by explaining what happened to Conan and his 'TONIGHT SHOW' gig with NBC and how he got banned from performing on TV for six months. It then gives us behind the scenes footage of Conan and his crew coming up with the tour idea, selling it, coming up with material for it and then doing the tour itself. We get several scenes of Conan interacting with his TV crew, primarily his personal assistant, as well as celebrity friends of his (who continue to drop by his show). The movie leads all the way up to the end of the tour and Conan beginning his new late-night talk show at TBS.The movie does seem to be very honest and genuine, with Conan appearing as a bit of a self centered dick throughout. He had just lost his dream job (of hosting 'THE TONIGHT SHOW'), so it is understandable, but still this may throw off a lot of his hardcore fans. His personal assistant seems to get the most of his emotional abuse and the film does a good job of allowing the viewer to relate and sympathize with her (as well as Conan himself) at times. The film does drag a little sometimes as well with the general narrative often feeling slow paced and unenthusiastic. Still the film has plenty of laughs and it does give a good look at that time in the popular comedian's life. It also does a good job of presenting him as just an average guy: not always trying to be funny and often getting frustrated and being mean to those around him as a result. It's not a perfect film but it does serve it's purpose well.Watch our review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s7ci6l5gkI

"I didn't want to be the first "Tonight Show" host to take the "Tonight Show" into the next day. So I said that didn't really work for me." After being screwed out of his job by the execs. at NBC and Jay Leno, Conan wonders what he will do with his life. He decides on going on tour. This movie is a behind the scenes look at his 45 day "Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television" tour. If you know Conan you will know what to expect for about 80% of this movie. The 20% that surprised me was how arrogant and that he comes off as kind of a jerk. I don't know if that's how he actually is or if it is remnants of being angry at how he was treated. Either way it is actually good they put that in there so the entire documentary is not a pity party for Conan. Wheather you are a Conan fan or not this is a very entertaining documentary and worth watching. Overall, I really enjoyed this film and I highly recommend this. I give it an A-.Would I watch again? - I think I would.

Conan O' Brien Can't stop is a really funny documentary that invites you on tour with Conan, Andy Richter, the Band and all of his staff during his 44 show "Legally Prohibited from being on TV Tour". It's incredibly engaging and a movie that has it all. This film has everything thing. It is a comedy with great jokes created right before your eyes, a behind the scenes inside Hollywood piece and an emotional in depth look at a popular TV icon we're all used to making us laugh.I was very excited when I found out that this documentary was being made. I was one of a few thousand lucky fans that got to go to his show when he came to Minneapolis and enjoyed his show more than most that I see! It was a fast paced blend of music and comedy, sketches and video clips that fulfilled everything I was hoping for and much more.The documentary begins with some reflection from the former Tonight Show Host of 7 months while driving down the freeway in Los Angeles. His new home after relocating from New York for the short lived run on the #1 late night show. He mentions as he is thinking out loud to the director and camera that he "can't just stop" he doesn't even know what that means.He also says that he has always felt more comfortable with an audience.I think that is the sentiment that I found throughout the movie to ring most true. He was lost after they took his show away and banned him from TV, Radio and the Internet. He could not have an audience come and watch him. He had no idea what to do, he needed an audience, so he decided that he would go to the audience. He put together a team of writers and producers and they decided to write a touring show.The movie is an incredible in depth look at the project from the ground up. A really interesting scene came when they "leaked" the word on the internet that tickets were on sale for some select cities. Thousands of tickets sold immediately, whole cities were sold out in minutes. They finally realized the monster they created and realized they better write a great show fast! The film shows you the creative process that Conan and the writers went through in the beginning meetings trying to figure out what the show would be. This is another area where I felt that Conan was always most comfortable when surrounded by an audience, because even in the meetings with his staff, there is no doubt who the leading character always is. These scenes and most throughout are always hilarious.As the film and tour go on, we see the grind of a tour really breaking Conan down in certain scenes and cities. He grows frustrated because he is being spread so thin...so many meet and greets, so many photos and autograph sessions. There are spots when it really frustrates him and I am glad that he allowed those scenes to be put in the movie because they do show a darker side of him that most of us haven't seen, and some probably don't like. I personally thought that he always handled himself and the frustrating moments with professionalism, and no matter how hard it was to turn up that charm, he always found it and shined. Even if it was a situation where he would slam the door after signing 200 autographs after a show and muttered an expletive under his breath, he certainly was better behaved than the majority of celebrities throughout the years.I believe it's because he knows, he always needs an audience. If he is rude, doesn't go out and sign that autograph or take that picture, he knows they may not come back.Conan O' Brian Can't Stop is a very bold project for Conan and is a great view inside of him and his tour that he made for his fans. It is engaging, usually hilarious, and I definitely recommend it for anyone who is a fan of his, a fan of music, a fan of late night talk shows, Hollywood, or anyone that enjoys a great documentary.Large Popcorn!
