There is something about Justin Bieber: Never Say Never that is slightly entertaining, and just a little bit charming…if you’re fifteen. On the other hand, there’s also something that should make people want to kill themselves. It’s understandable why his fans would love this. It’s a showcase of their favorite androgynous boy toy. But other than that, there is simply no justified reason why anyone should like this documentary of sorts.
You can say the movie is harmless, fine, but the worst movies of all time are also pretty harmless. What bothers me, and what I find absurdly irritating that it doesn’t bother more people, is that Justin Bieber is a talentless hack, and it’s amplified throughout the entire film. Sure, he seems like a nice kid, but so what? He can’t sing, he can barely perform, and his songs are average at best. Why all the fuss? We aren’t here to judge his character. We’re here to judge his music and film, and this one, while a smart easy move by Justin’s posse, eventually just feels forced and annoying.
I’m not a mean spirited person, and if Justin wants to continue with his career and be successful, great. But someone needs to stop glorifying his talent, or lack there of. Get the kid a vocal coach already, and stop shoving him in our faces.

Completlely agree.
So, I’m expecting the usual flood of haters to comment here. I kinda wish they’d take their hating to a place where everyone will agree with them and the rest of us don’t have to listen. For the record, I don’t care about Justin Bieber’s music, but give the kid a break — he’s enjoying his period of fame and there’s nothing wrong with that. Tell me exactly what’s harmful about teen pop. It makes kids happy. Is that a crime?
Did you actually see this movie?
Somoene doesn’t have biber fever.
Of course. There wouldn’t be a review up if it hadn’t been seen.
@ Anthony. I’m not so sure about that. I’d have a hard time coming up with a review if I hadn’t seen a movie. These reviews, well most, are pretty well written and well thought out. This does sound like an excuse to just bash Justin Bieber…but I mean….who cares? Whoever wrote this is absolutely correct, at least that’s what I think.
I don’t believe you for a second. Lists & Grades routinely grades and reviews things it hasn’t seen.
Very well written post. I love Justin Bieber more than anyone. When does the new album come out?
