Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (Two-Disc DVD/Blu-ray Combo) Justin Bieber: Never Say Never is the inspiring, entertaining and intimate look at the life and meteoric rise of pop phenomenon Justin Bieber. From small town boy to global super-star, Never Say Never follows Justin Bieber’s journey from his early years, to his rise from break-out internet sensation to global super-star, culminating with a sold-out show at the famed Madison Square Garden. More than just a concert, Never Say Never is a captivating, cinematic event featuring all-star musical talent including, Usher, Jaden Smith, Ludacris, and more!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

Great Movie- Length Worked!,
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.

Review of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never,
I love this movie. I saw it in the theaters and I literally fell in love with him all over again. My friend Kristina didn’t really like him before, but I dragged her to the movie anyway, and she said the same exact thing. It’s like having an exclusive camera no one else sees following Justin Bieber around. Yes, I have to admit, I am one of those screaming crazed teen girls who would faint if I caught a glimpse of him. But seriously, this was a very good movie. I almost (I’m ashamed to admit it) cried at the end because I didn’t want it to end. I personally think documentaries are very boring, but this was the most action filled, boy filled, best documentary I’ve ever seen. I’m a book dork, and I’ve read the Twilight Saga and the Harry Potter series and seen all the movies and read all the novellas but I have to say, this movie tops them all. I loved it so much, I am going to buy it ASAP. If you hate Justin Bieber, all I’m asking is to watch this movie. If you hate it, fine. But you can’t understand who he really is, and respect him for his talent (and abnormally high voice) until you’ve seen this. When I first saw Justin Bieber, I disliked him very much. But the more I listened to his music, and the more I learned him, (and cyber-stalked) I learned what an amazing person he is. I would watch this movie every day if I could. I don’t care if I went off topic, but just think about what you’re gonna say about him. Sorry if reading this has been a waste of your time. But I hope not. Have a nice day!
