For Real – Stop Saying “Never”

by

This weekend Dan and I watched Justin Bieber: Never Say Never for our hot date night. I pitched it to him as “a chance to let the magic of documentary film transport us into the world of a strange and interesting new culture.”

Also, he would get to sit really close to me for two hours. Also, he would get to see Jaden Smith perform his first live rap solo at Madison Square Garden. Most people don’t get to perform their first live rap solo at Madison Square Garden but. He’s. That. Good. So there’s that.

I was mostly watching it because a friend dropped it off and told me I had to, because it was directed by Jon M. Chu of Step Up 2: “The Streets” and Step Up 3: “The D” fame, and because of purple.

I won’t bore you with all the details and doubtless you’ve all seen it already.

*cough* American Classic *cough*

I will say that tears were shed as we watched it. To protect the privacy of those involved, I will not tell you by whom the tears were shed or what type of emotions were behind them. I will tell you that the movie makes me question my fashion choices. There’s just something about those bedazzled hoodies… like baby, baby, baby, ooooooh.

    First-Come on Dan you know you were crying when that girl got called up on stage to be “one less lonely girl” I know I was balling at that part.
    Second-This blog post did nothing to fulfill the details I need of WHICH parts you Ms.Kathryn were crying during. Do tell!

      When they gave out the tickets and everyone was crying and screaming and those parents looked like they would perish from relief. And then the “One Less Lonely Girl” part sealed the deal.

    FYI….I confess, I shed tears at the exact two same spots! In case you ever want to watch it again, we own the DVD 🙂

    So funny. I actually saw the previews for this on an Ellen rerun and thought that it looked good. I would not say this out loud though.
