Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (2011)

*unnaturally long sigh* I know. I know. I didn’t want this. I never wanted this. Here is my… (I’m crying a little bit as I write this)…review…for…the…Justin…Bieber…movie. I never wanted to say those words. I have been teased, picked on, and verbally abused by all of my friends practically for me seeing this. Now what are they gonna say when I tell them that it wasn’t completely terrible? If I was one of my friends, I would punch myself in the face. And let me explain why. I have kept the argument for a year that Justin Bieber could possibly be the single nicest human being on the planet. Heck, he could even be actually extremely talented. But I would rather bash my head against a wall a million times than have to hear ‘Baby’ one more time in gym. And the thing that I like about this movie is that it proves that I was right. Justin Bieber is a very nice individual. And if you watch some footage from if he was younger, you can see that he is actually talented. He is a very good drummer, and actually a good singer. Where did that go? I do not know. If he had done something different, I might have him on my iPod. But instead he has a swarm of annoying fans and a movie about him and them. Now, I am being extremely cynical. Let me explain. This movie has no reason to exist. Maybe in twenty years, we could have the Bieber version of This is It. But here, we have a movie that has no reason to exist. But it is not terrible. I really can’t explain the plot of this movie, because it doesn’t really have a plot. It just follows Bieber on his concert tour, and tells the story of his life. The movie does a good job of telling this, but it is extremely long. Like, the movie is only around 90 minutes, but it feels unnaturally long. When the movie was over, all I could say was-“If this was a 45-minute special on MTV, it would be the single best one ever.” And that’s all there is to it. It’s a Justin Bieber movie. You know what you’re getting into. And there is absolutely nothing I can say that will make you change your mind. I don’t know why I’m even reviewing this but I am, and I’m going to sum it up like this-It really is not as terrible as it could be.
