Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Ashish Aggarwal The documentary doesn't aim to glorify the popular late night host, but it does show the feelings of a common man within the celebrity.There are times, where he is so vulnerable and angry, out of fatigue or just annoyed by someone else's slacking.The best part for me was that it focuses mainly on the backstage moments disconnected from the audience. It gives the insight into the hardwork and stress which goes into the comic buffoonery on stage.You can feel that he is a grateful person but at the same time, insensitivity pisses him off towards the same people. He wishes to acknowledge everyone but his fatigue and stress takes over at times. He just wants peace and solace at times instead of the love from fans and friends. One can easily relate to his feelings and emotions even though circumstances are as different as they can get.The documentary displays how the man never stops working. His relentless hard work is inspiring at times.In all, a brilliant insight into the common man within the celebrity.

Sean Lamberger I've heard from several people that his attitude in this documentary has damaged their perception of Conan as a person. In some ways, I can understand where they're coming from; his humor on a person-to-person basis is much more biting and acidic than it is on television, and the film's approach of basically lining up every joke told behind the scenes, back-to-back-to-back, does give the impression that he's constantly picking on anyone who dares to enter the dressing room. That it also cuts away so quickly after every punchline doesn't give us a chance to understand the context of the conversation or the target's response to his barbs. The japes are constantly funny, but that uncertainty about their reception ultimately keeps the laughs from flowing freely. There's also an impression that he's always on, telling jokes without taking a breath - even during quiet moments at home with his wife and kids. To some, that might make him seem imposing and attention-seeking, but I took it as his way of dealing with the stress of an overloaded schedule, uncertain future and relentless media attention that he was working through at the time, just weeks after his public blowup with NBC. Conan runs with a very funny group of guys, and their puns combined with the glimpses both on the stage and behind the curtains at his "Prohibited Tour" make for some great material. It's just not an entirely friendly atmosphere for unbridled comedy.

Hellmant '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

chaz-28 To continuously get up in front of a large number of people and try over and over again to make them laugh must take a tremendous amount of self confidence and a healthy ego. In Conan O'Brien Can't Stop, Conan's ego is displayed warts and all. After not accepting a move back to his old midnight time slot when his Tonight Show ratings and Jay Leno's Primetime Show ratings were not producing good numbers, Conan O'Brien abruptly left TV after being a staple on it for years. Contractually, he could not go on TV for another six months; therefore, he created a live variety show and traveled around the country to perform for live audiences.Conan O'Brien Can't Stop is the documentary footage of the show's early ideas, its logistics, and finally its execution and reception. There are musical numbers referencing how he wants to get back on TV, comedic gags about how he left it, and rare direct digs at NBC executives and personally at Jay Leno. Whenever Conan is in the room, the conversation stops and focuses directly on the star. Conan is allowed to punch you and mock you, but you (the staff) are not allowed to project any of that in return, unless your name is Andy Richter. Conan's personal assistant, Sona, endures many of his sour moods and poor Jack McBrayer gets verbally annihilated during a very uncomfortable scene at his expense.The documentary produces some effective one-on-one interview situations with Conan about how angry he was at NBC and concerning his psychological need to be on a television screen. The footage of the variety shows are compelling and the backstage rants about after parties and uninvited guests are open and direct. However, Conan appears contradictory when he complains about the endless interviews, photos, autographs, and hangers-on, but if there aren't any around, he wonders where they are and why aren't they pushing to see him.This documentary is first and foremost about Conan O'Brien's ego and insatiable need to be in front of an audience making them laugh. It works for most of the time but Conan's relentless snark aimed at his staff and others can wear thin after an hour and a half.
