First, let me say:
Second, I saw a televised special of some sort awhile back about Katy Perry and her parents' uber conservative religious fervor. They aren't too happy about the sex symbol persona that she developed in order to sell her brand.
For a pop star whose songs rarely have any sort of deeper meaning, it was surprisingly interesting to see her personal side and how she was raised.
It was also interesting to see her scantily clad while preparing for shows.
Her parents were a part of this film and seemed to have come to terms with who and what she's become. Toward the end there's a brief glimpse of her mom at a concert. Conservative dad looked like a total weird-wack with his silver sliver beard, Harry Caray glasses and Judas Priest wardrobe. Not sure what that was.
For what it's worth I don't recall seeing her scantily clad. All I remember is workout clothes, hoodies and maybe a couple of times wrapped in a big towel. She definitely wasn't prowling around backstage in Victoria's Secret signature gear.
I actually thought the film took great pains to show her as a regular girl and purposely avoided portraying her as a sex kitty. Other than a few of the stage costumes, there wasn't anything overtly sexy about her wardrobe. Most of the time backstage she was sans makeup, too. That's something I think few of those obsessed with their looks would have allowed people to see.
That was the really interesting part of this movie. My daughter wanted to go, I figured why not, Katy Perry is crazy awesome hot and there's nothing wrong with drinking in that sweet 3D vision for an hour and a half. Left the movie not seeing her in the same manner. It transformed her from a delicious collection of tits, legs, hair, eyes, ass, and yummy parts into a complete person. A person I adore.
