SINGAPORE - Part concert film, part documentary and all self-congratulatory, Katy Perry: Part Of Me follows the singer's life from preacher's daughter to international pop icon and living cartoon as she embarked on her year-long 2011 California Dreams tour. We all know there's only so much that one can do with these films - so expect the standard package a la Justin Bieber's Never Say Never, comprising backstage footage, interviews with family and friends, and, of course, the concert performances. Yet, Part Of Me will surprise you by being a lot more entertaining than expected. And that's not just reserved for the Queen of Candy Land's fans. Because at the end of the day, baby, she's a firework.
1 Pre-fame Katy footage combined with flip "in-your-face-believe-in-yourself" positivity: The relentless cheeriness can be a little exhausting but, hey, who doesn't always want to look on the bright side of life? After two failed record deals (and one was for a Christian record) Perry has since managed to sit high atop the pop pile, by combining power-ear worm choruses with dance-floor beats. And she has a super cute scene-stealing grandma to show audiences she's still as grounded as ever.
2 Celeb cameos and hints of the Russel Brand saga: When you're good friends with pop world's creme de la creme like Rihanna, Adele and Kelly Clarkson, of course they are going to pop up in your movie, talking about how much they love you and your music. And with clever, crafty sub-plotting, the impending breakdown of relationship with the soon-to-be ex-husband is publicly shared without revealing too much.
