Part of Me works hard to prove it's more than a glorified infomercial, and one reason it is more is that Perry has a startling story to tell.
75
As it stands, her music gets under your skin and makes you feel good - and the movie makes you feel good about Katy Perry.
75
Does Part of Me plumb the depths of her soul? Hardly. As billed, it's a part of Perry she's willing to share.
75
Briskly effective, humanizing.
75
Perry manages to pull it off here, coming off completely likable and real, never insufferable and fake.
70
The live performances in particular feature an energized sheen sometimes missing from Perry's music videos featuring the very same songs.
70
Despite this careful (and successful) depiction of a warm and decent person, Perry the pop star remains stubbornly two-dimensional.
63
Part of Me is Perry's visually spectacular testimonial to her own indomitable determination to follow her dreams. The fact that the film lends itself to some really colorful Pinterest pages is merely a bonus.
63
When you see and hear so many fans of so many backgrounds expounding on what "Firework" means to them, you realize that while a song may or may not be for you, it most certainly is for others.
60
Perry may be the world's most high-profile tease, but she sure knows how to show us a good time.
