An energetic portrait of the global superstar as a down-to-earth teen from small-town Canada, the documentary works overtime (by about 10 minutes too long) to change his perception from fluke Internet phenom to the hardest-working 16-year-old on the planet.
And it generally succeeds, too, thanks to a visually energetic approach by director Jon Chu that keeps all the obligatory backstage/onstage bits moving fluidly.
