Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop (2011)

Starring Conan O’Brien
Directed by Rodman Flender
Rated R for language
1 hour 29 minutes

After he parted ways with NBC amid the Tonight Show fiasco, Conan O’Briend was prohibited from appearing on TV, radio, or the internet for six months. Feeling a need to connect with his fans, he launched a 32 city comedy and music tour. This film documents the creation, execution, and behind the scenes drama of that tour. While it does offer an interesting glimpse into Conan’s personality and the grueling nature of such a tour, I was definitely hoping for for more comedy. I think Conan can be hilarious, but the humor in this movie (and on his tour) often fell flat. In addition, way too much time was devoted to his music, which I found boring and uninspired. This movie is for card carrying members of Team Coco only.

Grade: C-
