What’s the story?
Never Say Never documents teen superstar Justin Bieber’s rise to fame. Bieber starting making music at a young age, playing the drums, singing and entertaining his family before he could even tie his shoes. As the story goes, after his mom uploaded several videos of him singing on YouTube he got a phone call from American talent agent Scooter Braun who flew him out to Atlanta for a meeting. As fate would have it, he bumped into Usher Raymond (his mentor) while he was there. Usher later arranged for Bieber to audition for LA Reid, which led to his record deal with Island Records. To illustrate just how far he has come, the film concludes with Bieber performing to a sold-out audience in New York City’s famous Madison Square Garden stadium.

Why see it?
The message of this film is that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. It doesn't matter if you're a Bieber fan or not watching this uplifting movie will get you motivated to make your dreams happen. Jon Chu (director of Step Up 2 and 3) makes sure that the audience gets an exclusive look at how an ordinary boy from small-town Ontario made his dream possible – up-close-and-personal through stunning 3-D concert footage from the star’s 2010 tour.

Problems?
Well, it seems obvious, but don’t go see this movie if you hate the Biebs’ music or aren’t a fan of documentaries.

All In All:
No matter what your dreams, Never Say Never will inspire you to follow them.
