The world of superstar DJs seems ripe for comedy, and yet we can only think of the 2000 movie Kevin & Perry Go Large which did a decent job of lampooning them.

When an eccentric agent from the French Intelligence Agency (Laura Felpin) offers a once-famous, down-on-his-luck DJ (Vincent Cassel) the chance to take down his younger, trendier rival (Mister V), he sees it as a chance to return to the top with a banger.
