Musical Docu Draws Fans: ‘Katy Perry: Part of Me’
Picking up a nomination for a Teen Choice Award for Choice Summer Movie – Comedy/Musical, the documentary about teen music sensation Katy Perry gives the up-close-and-personal story that fans crave. A respectful “up close and personal” view, though, allowing the film to keep a PG rating. The filmmakers combined a variety of sources into the film, as KIDS FIRST! youth film critic and Katy Perry fan Raven Devanney, age 15, describes: “It was really cool to see some of her backstage footage of before and after the shows as well as showing some awesome concert footage.

Katy Perry: Part of Me follows Katy Perry on her biggest tour yet. This fantastic film incorporates a documentary of her rise to the top as well as showing some fantastic footage of her concerts.
I thought this film was awesome. It was really cool to see some of her backstage footage of before and after the shows as well as showing awesome concert footage. And it also incorporates some home videos as well as footage from her fans, which was so cool to see what a positive influence she has on her fans of all ages and genders.
I am a huge Katy Perry fan, so naturally I loved this film. But I saw it with my little brother who doesn’t even listen to Katy Perry music and didn’t really know much about her, and he had a blast in this film. After we were done watching this movie, he couldn’t stop singing her songs.
Katy is so strong. She has been through so many record labels that didn’t work out or they were just telling her what her sound should be or what her image should be, and they weren’t letting her just be herself. And finally she got to a place where she could be herself and create the music and the life she wanted. And she never gave up on her dreams.
And now, look at where she is. She’s so huge, and she’d accomplished so much. And this film really shows how much she’s fought and worked so hard for what she needs and what she’s created for herself. 
I think overall I would give this film a five out of five stars, because it was so awesome to see a deeper side of Katy. More than just her music that we all listen to. So I would recommend this film for everyone. So grab all of your friends and family and go check it out in a theater near you.
