Ehirerapp Waste of time
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Jihad F Haidar I'm a HUGE KatyCat, and Katy is one of my biggest role models, she's talented, kind and is a living proof that if you can be yourself, you can be anything. Katy tells us to live our life with fun, and no regrets, life is too short to be anything but happy!The movie is made of concert scenes, behind the scene and home footage, and more. It talks about Katy's life, and how she became what she is today, and follows her to her 2011 successful tour, California Dreams Tour. She talks about her childhood and past, and her family, team and other celebrities (Jessie J, Adele, Rihanna etc..) are also introduced as guests too.I guess it's suitable for her fans, and even some of her non-fans too. See the movie and I bet you won't be disappointed!
Ryan_MYeah Yeah, I actually took the time to watch this. It's exactly what you would expect. It's simply another touring concert movie to cash in on the success of a modern icon, but at least we do get to see why people look up to Katy Perry in such a way. Is it her music? Okay, but lots of artists have good music. Is it her fashion? I don't think that's it either. I think people look up to Perry because her personality is just so likable, and she's faced relatable issues and real life problems, all of that leading to where she is now. Maybe the movie makes her a little too likable, but you can see exactly why she's considered such a role model, and any fan of her music (guilty) will enjoy hearing the live performances of her songs.*** / *****
Steve Pulaski "Thank you all for believing in my weirdness," a perky, heavily dolled-up Perry states to her rambunctious audience in her self-titled documentary, Katy Perry: Part of Me, arguably the best concert film I've seen since Michael Jackson's This Is It. When I say "concert film," be advised I am using it in its loosest form. Perry is shown as a compassionate, self-aware, completely genuine enigma throughout the picture and the compilation of concert clips have some of the most impressive theatricalities I've seen in recent times. To put it simply, the set designs as a whole look as if Willy Wonka was the hired contractor.Perry exploded into the mainstream scene in 2008 when her song "I Kissed a Girl" burst onto peoples' radios, playing the infectious pop instrumentals which were equipped with "good girl gone bad" style lyrics. It was a fun little jam that you wanted to hear again instantly after it was done. Prior to the breakthrough of her single, Perry was attempting to get recognition with her gospel songs and her acoustic guitar. Despite being raised with extreme Christian theology by her parents, she realized that it most likely wasn't going to get her broad recognition in the music industry. She needed to do something catchy, fun, and slightly provocative.Her "debut album" (second to only a gospel rock one released seven years prior), One of the Boys, was released the same year and welcomed over one million sales, making Perry, officially, one of the most successful new artists in 2008. But she wasn't done. She had a plethora of quirkiness to show her new fans. Then came Teenage Dream, another record breaking album boasting five number one hits, including "California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", "Firework", "E.T.", "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", and "Part of Me" - a record previously held by only Michael Jackson. For a while, it was impossible to turn on a radio for more then ten minutes and not hear one of these songs.Part of Me centers itself around Perry's stage shows, but isn't hesitant to dig into her personal life to get a deeper look at the perky woman herself. We see her acting unusually graceful to her assistants, costume designers, managers, etc (I was reminded of the way Conan O'Brien treated his management team in Conan O'Brien Can't Stop and how disrespectful he was most of the time), and there are times we see her without any makeup on - a complete rarity in many documentaries showcasing an idolized talent.Seeing Perry interact with her fans is a charming, often uplifting event that brings a smile to not only the fan's faces but also ours. We see Perry in touch with her fanbase because, as we're told from the start, "she knows what it's like to be that girl in the audience." Even the gooey, often cheesy scenes where we see crazed fans do an amateur rendition of one of her songs we can't help but crack a loose smile. We think of the woman's ingenuity and spirit which clearly rubs off on her extensive line of fans.But unfortunately, tragedy brews, and we are not robbed of scenes of Perry crying, lying around, or simply, broken-hearted. We see her deeply affected by her divorce with Russell Brand. We can see love still reigns in her eyes, but the relationship is sadly, a toxic area for the both of them. They are scarcely seen together in the documentary, and because of conflicting schedules, which the film tactfully makes note of, we can assume this is a contributing reason to the breakup.This is where most concert documentaries would ham up the sad music, show a star in distress, only to have them brush away the tears and continue on within the next few minutes. We saw it in Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, but Katy Perry: Part of Me dares to humanize an artist victim to a heavy schedule and a majority of problems the people and the media tend to scrutinize or simplify beyond comprehension. My number one complaint with movies of this kind is that, most of the time, they serve little to no purpose. Bieber's documentary and Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D provided some nice music and pleasant visuals, but the whole thing felt like a vehicle, incomplete and victim to unusual timing. If they are filmed nicely, offer insights, properly depict the artist at hand, and try to branch out to others and not conform to the ones firmly gridlocked in the fanbase, I will throw the bone. The bone has been thrown to Katy Perry: Part of Me.Starring: Katy Perry. Directed by: Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz.
Andie Similon This movie is just awesome! Katy Perry performs very well! She is sexy and smart. I hope more movies with Kate Perry will follow, I can't wait to see more of her. Then, to say a few words about the movie itself: the story is great, and the plot is unpredictable. It was only after watching the movie for the third time that I understood the story, I think. Well, in fact, you can keep watching this movie time after time, because the story lines and characters are rather complex. I think that this complexity explains why the movie is rated so low. I don't want to offend anybody, but I think many people don't understand the movie while watching it for the first time, just like myself. I regret that those people give a low rating, instead of watching the movie a few more times. It is really worth the effort to understand the movie! I cannot go into more detail, because I don't want to spoil it for those who managed to understand the movie finally. There is however one thing I want to share, something that has not been mentioned on any forum about the movie yet... when I was watching the movie for the seventh time, I discovered that the scenery of the movie looks totally different when you watch the movie through pink sunglasses. The Barbie kind of atmosphere gets filtered out a little bit (it is somewhat softened), and this gives the movie an even more erotic touch. You should really try this out, because it is hard to explain. I hope this review can contribute to convince people to take this movie serious, and give it the rating it deserves. Enjoy this fantastic movie, and don't forget your pink sunglasses ;-)
