Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D (2012)

Watching Katy Perry's documentary today, I was struck by how authentic this woman comes across as.  Unlike her peers, Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, Niki Minaj, etc... Katy comes across as genuine.  Part of Me follows her seemingly overnight rise to fame, the early nuptials, and Katy's unwillingness to be anything other than herself.

In Part of Me, concert tracks from her 2011 tour are interspersed with interviews from family and friends that expose the less than meteoric rise of this superstar.  This cynical viewer couldn't help but enjoy herself amid Perry's cotton candy world.  If anything, Katy has made me respect her more.  Her unrelenting dedication to riding the insanely famous wave is admirable, but at the end of the day she goes home with herself.

As I see it, if you're a fan of Katy, you will find exactly what you need here.  Great pop music and a dazzling 3-D experience.  If you're not, you'll find a few more useless facts about young woman trying to make her way in a world of haters.
