I went to the theater with my best friend to watch the Katy Perry movie. I went there expecting to see some stuff about following your teenage dream, making it big, and other Hollywood nonsense. The movie was anything but that.
The movie starts with video clips of Katy's fans speaking of how she influenced them to be better people or saved their lives, which was a very dramatic start to a documentary about a pop star to be honest. After that they started with an onstage performance from her latest tour and then it went back and forth from the present tour and her beginning as a musician.
I am a mild Katy Perry fan, I like some of her songs and music videos, and I think she has a great makeup artist and hair stylist and that she looks really pretty when she's not busy looking like a Barbie doll from the future.

The movie's soundtrack was genius. The whole thing is almost divided in chapters and each chapter begins with Katy preforming a song on her tour, for example the song E.T would be performed and then the part abut meeting her ex-husband Russle Brand would come up. The song selection was great, and was really fitting for the sections. A tip of the hat for the person behind that in the production.
(I also learned that Katy Perry is the only artist to have 5 singles from the same album as number one on the charts, which is good for her.)
Another thing I liked about the movie was the fact that it was raw. I obviously know many of the things were scripted or cut in editing to make them sound different, but I'm referring to the lack of makeup and fashion fiascoes backstage. I know Katy has a history of posting pics with no makeup on twitter but it was still cool.
I also liked the funny and childish parts in the movie, such as the meet & greets and concert admittance lines. I also loved the scene in which the "band & crew?" were in a water park. I thought that was pretty good entertainment.
My favorite parts of the movie:
a) Katy Perry's sister, Angela, who is an older blonder version of her, which was freaky and cool. She's always taking care of her sister and actually gets married at the end which was super cute.
b) This awesome cafe Katy went to in Japan. You have your drinks in a room of cats! (I know!)
c) Katy's grandma. I just love old people and she's so funny.
KP (about herself and her siblings growing up): "We turned out pretty fine."
Grandmother: "As far as I know..."
Something I am still not sure how I feel about is the parts about her marriage and relationship with her ex-husband. Everything was so intense with clips of her crying over texts from him after he filed for divorce. I don't know, I felt like that was something private that she shouldn't share.
The worst part about the movie was the 3D. Frankly, the only things in 3D were the opening credits, some paper confetti at the end, and some 3D edited with photoshop pictures, exactly like the ones on tumblr. If it wasn't in 3D it would have probably been better, but they've got to get money in somehow.
Overall, it wasn't a great cinematic experience per say, but it was good entertainment.
Final rating: 2/5

She also lives in Vegas, four for you Katy's grandma.
