Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Isbel 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.

pyrogenica I think the words "boring" don't do justice to this dull and self indulgent egotistical extravaganza. It's difficult to find enough words in my vocabulary to describe the utter mediocrity of this vane auto biopic of Katy Perry's shallow little world. The patronizing little cameo of the poor "make a wish" child visiting was little short of vomit inducing, and the sycophantic way that Perry fawned over Russel Brand actually did leave me tasting vomit in my mouthThe two nieces who accompanied me (8 & 10) begged me to rent this, and they begged me to take them home within 30 minutes of the start. I didn't expect too much of MTV, their level is Beavis and Butthead, on a good day. This was clearly not a good day

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.*** / *****

capone666 Katy Perry: Part of MeThis better not be the part of pop princess Katy Perry that suffers unsightly acne outbreaks.Phew! This isn't a feature-length Proactiv infomercial about Perry's pimple preventative methods but a 3D documentary about her life.Inviting a camera crew on her California Dreams Tour, the colourful crooner openly discusses her controversial transition from gospel singer to innuendo-laced performer.Through family interviews and home movies, Perry's path to the spotlight is well documented, as are her religious parents' feelings towards their daughter's lascivious lyrics. Between background stories and backstage antics, Perry performs hits from her repertoire festooned in garish candy-inspired costumes.While fans of the soloist will enjoy seeing her outlandish stage show, detractors of the overtly sexual singer will simply see it as a marketing ploy by record executives to bolster album sales.Unfortunately, this retrospective does not reveal which part of Katy Perry drove Russell Brand to divorce her.

Jeff Lee IF you're a fan of US singer Katy Perry, you'll love thisautobiographical concert movie of her songs and life.If you don't know anything about her, you'll still enjoy the movie as it follows the structure of these kind of movies: it has many concert performances and interviews with her family, friends and fans about what a great singer and person she is.The movie follows her on a year-long tour last year to promote her album, which produced five No. 1 hits, the first for a female artiste.The movie would have been a normal one but for the way it milks her divorce from British comedian Russell Brand for all it's worth. Brand filed for divorce in December 2011 after 14 months of marriage.It shows what led to the divorce (him wanting to have a baby; she not being interested in becoming a mum now) and then her finally accepting the divorce, complete with a breakdown, just before the start of her concert in Sao Paolo, Brazil. She even contemplates cancelling the concert.This will certainly brings tears to many, as it did to me.I enjoyed her concert shows as they were vibrant, energetic and colourful. "Thank you for accepting my weirdness," she tells the camera and her fans.Her niceness permeates the movie, and you can see why her mostly white fans adore her, dress like her, mime her lyrics and say how much she inspires them and gives them hope.** www.jeffleemovies.com (FB and Twitter)
