Review of Katy Perry: Part of Me (2012) by A T — 22 Dec 2012

Surprising Katy Perry's movie is much more raw and interesting than the title and trailer have you expect it to be. By no means is it Academy Award material, but the brutal honestly that Perry decides to use in her documentary (not unlike Conan O'Brien in his documentary, Conan O'Brien Can't Stop) makes the film actually watchable unlike "Justin Bieber: I'm A Suckup and Total Sham 3D".

The screen is obviously eye candy and the sets are quite nice, but sometimes it's difficult to enjoy when Perry sings songs from an obscure lineup that really only a true diehard would get. I also wish the film went more into her family dynamic as it seemed interesting to see how her parents have dealt with her transformation.

But alas, this isn't going for some expose, it really just scraped the surface, but more so than I was expecting. Also strangely added was Russell Brand. He has two words audible in the movie "Hey Sausage.

" I think it was smart to not paint him as the villain but more describe the relationship as mutually not working so kudos to Katy.
