  • jbjb{x{x Welcome to What the Flick everybody. It s Justin Beiber time. Ben Mankiewicz here,

  • Christy Lemire with the associated press, and Matt Atchity from Rotten Tomatoes, and

  • like I said: Hoo-hah. re really excited about this, and I m not even being ironic when I

  • say that, we re really excited about this. Haven t had as much fun at the screening since

  • Snakes on a Plane? Actually, Snakes on a Plane, not bad. Had a lot of fun at Snakes on a Plane.

  • So was Justin Beiber. Hello. It s my birthday. And this is how I drum. There s this kid named

  • Justin Beiber, and he sings. He s from a small town in Canada, and he had a dream We saw

  • it together. We saw the screening with a bunch of girls between, what? Ten? Twelve? They

  • were contest winners. There were four seats marked as reserved for Paramount Pictures.

  • We walk in, we get mobbed Oh my God, do you know Justin Beiber? I need his phone number!

  • Give me his phone number! They were very cute by the way, and Ben handled it very well.

  • I love talking to kids, and I m good at it actually. That s me there with twelve-year-olds.

  • That s Sara there in the front, with her red hair parted in the middle. And she actually

  • pointed out unless it s an action movie, 3D is worthless. She essentially said it was

  • a gimmick. Right. She said it was okay because she demanded we all give the movie five stars

  • to which, you said five out of ten? To which they screamed, Nooo! But Sara said, Well,

  • you can give it four out of five, because it doesn t need to be in 3D. But we can say

  • though, and we should mention the director John M. Chu who directed Step Up 3D, which

  • was not a horrible use of 3D. And it s Justin Beiber reaching out to touch you while he

  • s singing a song to you. And the 3D was only relevant for the concert footage. Yeah, and

  • I thought it was okay in the concert footage. Unnecessary, sure, but it didn t bother me

  • that much the way it bothers me in other films. So I thought that was okay. The Jonas Brothers

  • movie was unwatchable. I don t remember what I gave it back when I was doing At the Movies

  • but whatever I gave it was too good. It was horrible. It s an F minus. I think the Jonas

  • movie and the Miley movie were both infomercials like this was as well. This is too, though.

  • I don there s something different about this movie. I think it s better. It s on a different

  • level. Those are failures, no one should watch those movies this was better. This movie doesn

  • t blow. There s some storytelling in this. And the people who surround Justin Beiber

  • in his life his mother, his grandparents, his father who s in it a little I don t know,

  • you learn something about his life. Those other movies, you don t learn a lot about

  • the people in their lives. But you don t learn a lot about Justin Beiber himself. You see

  • him perform. You see how gifted he is from a very young age, but we don t know who he

  • is. What his fears are. What does he think about these mobs of girls. Right, but in this

  • movie s defense it s a concert movie. It s not a documentary about Justin Beiber. You

  • don t think it s both? I think it s a concert movie that goes into some of the background

  • about his life. It s like the extra 30 or 40 minutes of Teen Beat magazine. This movie

  • is definitely made to appeal to certain demographic. The Justin Beiber fans. The early teen and

  • pre-teen girls, but this movie is actually better than anyone expected given that it

  • was made for that audience. It could have been just an hour and a half of him performing

  • at the concert, but it wasn t that. It was more than that. But even from the Manager

  • Scooter Braun and some of the guys he hangs out with, the security guys I agree, we didn

  • t hear much about his fears. Right. Snakes, spiders, beestings, the dark Girls, Nazis,

  • right. But we did hear some about the people around him, and that told us about him. A

  • little. s hugely likable. He works his ass off. I mean, you see he s been very gifted

  • since age two and he s very likeable. It s hard to attack him or say you don t like him.

  • That they could fool us on, because you see from this movie they re trying to make him

  • seem likeable. But because we got to learn about the people around him, I think he might

  • actually be liekable. I think the movie does what it s trying to do in appealing to the

  • fans, and for those who aren t fans it well, I came away from the movie not even with a

  • grudging respect. I ve got a real respect for his musical abilities. There were no boys

  • at this concert. There were no guys at all. It s 100% to nothing, except for dads. Really

  • nice dads who took their kids. There are no thirteen year old boys. None. It s remarkable.

  • When Miley Cyrus came out to sing a song, the girls in the audience booed. It was great!

  • If you decide to see this movie, and I m sure there s a lot of people in our audience who

  • aren t going to see it, but if you see it bring ear plugs because the girls will scream

  • the whole time. Shriek the whole time. Shockingly, we didn t hate this movie. Matt, what would

  • you give it? ll have to admit I have a touch of Beaver Fever, it really impressed me. I

  • ll give it a 7. I, too, am a belieber. I give it a 7, too. Did you read that somewhere?

  • No, it s a real world: belieber. Good stuff. I give it a 6 1/2. Hater! Contain yourselves.

  • You trying to be so cool. Tear down the wall. Totally. Yeah, so that pulls the overall grade,

  • did I say that already? Six point eight. So, we have a recommendation for Never Say Never.

  • So we also want to ask this question because we want audience participation. Who s cuter?

  • Justin Beiber? He s adorable, c mon, girls love him. Or Rookie Mankiewicz? That s the

  • question. I don t think it s close, man, They re both really soft and innocent and cuddly.

  • Totally. One of them has a beautiful singing voice, but the other one There other one has

  • this hair flip that is Totally. The other one will scoot around on the carpet and doesn

  • t say shit. You can vote on our website. I recommend it highly. The vote is already one

  • to nothing, Rookie, I m just saying So, a recommendation for Never Say Never. Shocking.

  • Totally. Welcome to What the Flick everybody Elijah Trichon Normal Elijah Trichon Microsoft
