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 -
