Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Mattyman7 Say what you like about Katy Perry, but she was born to be on that stage. Pop stardom doesn't always translate well to film, with more than a few musicians proving too unmarketable on camera. Katy Perry is just the opposite, and if this new documentary gets traction, fans could develop a preference for her sparkling on screen image.Even an average performance by the candy princess isn't boring, and while I was expecting a bit of a sing-along, these are surprisingly lacking, however what this lacks in musical numbers, it makes up for on the strengths of the pop star's genuine funny personality and likability. Thanks to 'Katy Perry Getting Intimate', which aside from a back-stage pass to the Hello Katy and California Dreams year long tour, looks back through Katy's religious upbringing and struggle to make it big. Ultimately it's an eye opener of if-Katie-can-do-it-so-can-I. It's also interesting to see a career that has included such milestones as having 5 number one hit singles off of one album, something only singer Michael Jackson has accomplished. Fans get an honest insight here and I defy anyone not to fall slightly in love with her after watching this.

Sissy Taylor The movie contains a very revealing and surprising story about a genuinely gifted songwriter breaking out of her strict religious upbringing and rising to the very highest peak of stardom. I am not a teenager, and I don't really listen to Top-Hit radio, but you cannot fail to like Katy's music, you hear it everywhere. I have a huge respect for what she has done with her career, and I was totally engulfed by her story. I felt it wasn't just to show how famous she is, I think people look up to Katy Perry because her personality is just so likable, maybe the movie makes her a little too likable, but you can see exactly why she's considered such a role model. I would have loved it even more if it featured her concerts but fans will have to wait for the Prismatic tour live DVD for that. It does show some very funny back stage scenes. Who knew that Katy liked Prince Harry? Great entertainment about a true American sweetheart.
