CONAN O’BRIEN CAN’T STOP: 3 STARS

hero_EB20110622REVIEWS110629993ARThis documentary about O’Brien’s 32 city pity tour after being turfed as host of  could more rightly be called Multi Millionaires Just Wanna Have Fun. The flame haired host repeatedly says he took his act on the road to have fun, but why doesn’t look like he’s having any? Wedged between rehearsal, onstage and candid backstage footage is a portrait of a wounded man struggling with a grave personal and professional disappointment. It’s like watching someone go through a bad breakup for 90 minutes, with musical numbers and the odd joke. For all showbiz aficionados but primarily for Coco completeists.
