The one word that best describes Popstar is "lackluster". It might be that they tried to make a film about a pop star on a low budget but everything abut it is just lazy and uninspired.
The introduction scene is supposed to show that Aaron Carters character is a famous singer but it lacks grandeur and instead he comes off as a pretty mediocre artist. The obligatory high school mean girls are not nearly cruel enough to be true antagonists, in fact, the mean girls of any other high school film would eat these two for breakfast. The nerdy girl is nowhere near nerdy enough to take on that role and the strict teacher is pretty lame. There is conflict in the film but it is insignificant, the high school setting is done without any effort and the actors all seem tired and unmotivated.
I could go on to talk about all the inexplicable events of the plot, the clunky character introductions and so but what would be the point? The lackluster feel is what defines this movie.
