Paulo Rezende I love Katy Perry and it's really cool to have made a film telling of his journey to stardom! The documentary tells how his life was complicated in relation to their parents, devoted only to Christianity and, therefore, were too conservative to release her daughter to her dreams, but she did not give up, went to California, he struggled to be recognized by a record label to get his first hit - I Kissed a Girl - was funny to say that she was surprised to hear your own music on the radio. After that his career took off. His marriage was a major obstacle, having broken in their own world tour, but she overcame. The most amazing stars of movies is to realize that they have the same needs that we humans "common", they did not cease to be individuals with their own needs. I loved it!

SnoopyStyle It's 2011. Katy Perry is embarking on her California Dreams Tour. It starts off as a traditional inspirational behind the scene concert movie with a good dose of the story of a young struggling artist. It introduces her team, her family and her journey so far. The journey is a little enlightening with some fascinating bits about record labels. It's all pretty much expected from a concert film introducing an artist. It's a good first half about her rise. The movie moves into auto-pilot where her marriage is wonderful, the fans are adoring and it's hard-working fun. About an hour in, the real world relationship intrudes and her marriage to Russell Brand falls apart. It gets hinted at from time to time culminating in the text message. If this is a regular drama, the climax is Katy waiting to rise up onto the stage. The movie would end soon after that. Watching Katy breaking down is like skimming the surface of a very deep pool. There is probably so much more to the story but we're given only glimpses. In the end, this is concert movie and not an in-depth documentary. It can't turn into a deeper analysis for both personal and professional reasons. It's an opportunity lost. She does show herself to be driven, professional and a romantic. For fans, that would be more than enough.

lisafordeay Alright so I seen this in the cinemas last year with my brother and my mom. Of course we ended up watching this unannounced because the film that we were suppose to watch was on too late and we couldn't stay to watch it (BTW the film we were suppose to see was ICE AGE 4) but instead I said to my mom how about Katy Perry's concert movie. She agreed and we went in to see it. Surprisingly I actually found myself liking it. Heck I even bought it on DVD after that and I only seen it once(BTW its not a movie you'd watch over and over again,only now and again as its a documentary).So what is it about,well the movie is a music documentary like I mentioned before about Katy Perry's life and what she does on a day to day basis touring around the world with her band and also learning her past mistakes when she married Russell Brand(whom she broke up with and you can actually see her breaking down in tears because of it. Also we get to see her 90 something year old grandmother,her parents,AND her brother and sister.Before the movie even starts we get to see some of Katy Perry's biggest fans and all her fun costumes that she wears.Katy Perry herself seemed to be a really nice sweet down to earth young woman who knows how to please people,even my mom said that she was a really plain down to earth chick and my 5 year old brother(who was 4 at the time)also liked it(and hey it was his first PG movie so he might fancy her who knows right).So onto my final verdict. If your a Katy Perry fan and you grew up listening to her music and just like her in general than go and see it,if you are looking for a movie based film where someone is acting like Katy Perry then avoid and also if you hate real life films than avoid it.Overall I'm giving this a 7.

rgblakey There have been tons of concert movies that have come out, but unless you're a fan they really have a limited audience. With the latest Katy Perry: Part of Me they do something a bit different than just deliver another concert film, but instead an inside look at the creation and execution of Perry's tour, but also a documentary aspect telling about her career and personal victories and heartaches throughout.What's good about this film is that you don't have to be a fan of her music to find it interesting. On one side you get the Behind the Music vibe of her career wrapped in a big bow of making of the concert, sprinkled with numerous performances of her on stage. While all this is entertaining in itself, what really takes this film outside of the norm is the closer look at her personal life and emotions that she deals with while struggling to deal with life, marriage, and an unbelievable tour schedule. Here they never shy away from showing her raw moments of breaking down from pushing herself just as much as the glamour and fun of her seemingly magical world she has created around her. It's refreshing to see a star of her caliber that feels like a down to earth girl who made it big time and now just happens to be one of the biggest stars in the world. Of course there will be those that think some of it is just playing to the camera and who knows, but really who cares. The entire vibe she has created seems to bring more happiness to the world and her fans and seeing the amount of work and actual creative control she has it really impressive for someone still so young.Like her music or not, this film is so much more than that. This is a behind the scenes look at the side of music you don't see very often. Every star has their ways of doing things, but here seeing what Perry, and obviously many others like her go through both personally and physically to deliver what the fans clamor for should give you a new respect for both her and the performers in general. What's really crazy is that you can't help but enjoy this movie due to the simple fact that it exhumes joy on every level. It's like you fell off a cloud into a real life candy land and will bring a smile to your face.http://www.examiner.com/movie-in-dallas/bobby-blakey
