Never underestimate the power of perseverance, social media, good hair, and a winning smile. Small town boy Justin Bieber is a young musician (16 years old at the time of this film's release) who started out goofing around on the drums at home as a young child and posting videos on You Tube as a preteen. With the help of producer Scooter Braun, he has rocketed to the status of pop phenomenon, performing for a sold-out house at the coveted Madison Square Garden in less than two years. Part documentary, part concert video, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never combines archival home videos with live concert footage; interviews with everyone from Justin's young single mother and his grandparents to his vocal coach "Mama Jan" Smith, pop icon and actor Usher, and producer Braun; and way too much footage of squealing, overwrought preteen female fans (the latter will likely cause one's eyes to spontaneously roll back in one's head and trigger a gag reflex unless one happens to be a 10- to 12-year-old girl). Showcased are Bieber's early visits to every radio station imaginable; his life backstage, on the road, and during a rare visit with his friends back home; the determination of those around him to keep his life as normal as possible; and lots of up-close footage of his concerts. Throughout the 10 days preceding his Garden debut, guest artists like Miley Cyrus, Usher, Jaden Smith, and Boyz II Men join Bieber onstage for collaborative performances of songs including "Overboard," "Somebody to Love," "Never Say Never," and "U Smile." Bieber also deals with the stress and pain of a throat infection that causes him to cancel his first show ever and threatens to prevent him from honoring his performance date at the Garden. Finally, the day of the Madison Square Garden performance arrives and viewers are treated to a great sampling of Bieber's powerful performance. The film does a good job of chronicling Bieber's rise to stardom, but let's face it, his career has spanned less than two years as of this film, so there's not really all that much to say in a movie that lasts almost two hours. But even if you're not a rabid Justin Bieber fan, you have to admit the kid has talent and you've got to respect his incredible journey. (Ages 9 - 13) --Tami Horiuchi

4.0 out of 5 stars Good flick. May 19, 2011

By Williams

Format:Blu-ray

I'm a 29 year old heterosexual married male and I'd like to say that I'm sick of people saying this movie is trash because they hate Justin Bieber. I am not a fan of Justin Bieber's music, but this movie was very interesting and entertaining. I didn't get a 2 hr boring concert that you could watch on VH1. What I got was a very intriguing story of how this dude became so popular. It shows early footage of how he started drumming, and onto where he is now. Take it for what you will, this is not something you'll think about after you're done with the movie, but it's a good movie to pass 2 hours. If you want a decent musical bio-pic, check this one out... it's really not that bad.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just had to see it... May 29, 2011

Hi. I too am an adult of 40 yrs. with no children to constantly try to tell me how "great" JB is! I'm a big film buff and especially like to see how one got their rise to the top (documentaries, etc.). It's a very good film in that respect and gave me a little different perspective on this entertainer. I, however, can't figure out all the "hate" he receives from those who never even probably heard more that one song...??? Check it out, if you go into it hating him, you'll probably leave that way too. Myself, I don't prejudge. He has a huge fanbase and that's great for him. I'm just not into kid pop ( LOL ), but I respect what he's doing and hope he continues to do well for himself. Just not my thing thats all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie- Length Worked! March 19, 2011

By Destini Fate

I really enjoyed this movie- the effects were AMAZING and in 3D I felt like I was at a JB concert. However, I think an hour and 45 minutes was a good length. Although I would definitely enjoy 9 hours of Justin footage, the rest of the un-superfans out there would NOT agree. This duration made it enjoyable for those who aren't big fans, and left the huge fans wanting more, hence the Director's Fan Cut. Either way, I was impressed by Never Say Never and would definitely recommend it.
