Katy Perry: A Part of Me is a documentary/biography/musicvideo about an uptown girl living in a whitebread world. The film follows the sultry pop-star as she embarks on a year-long world tour in 2011; it features testimonials from friends and family about how hard she works in addition to a brief synopsis of her career (which includes the requisite transformation from wholesome Christian to naughty nurse) and how long it took to be noticed by anyone important. It’s as superficial and self-serving as one might expect from a movie like this but I wouldn’t call it unpleasant. Actually, it’s nothing less than adequate.
