Is this a Justin Bieber rip off?


I am guessing the 7.2 rating is from kids who are imagining this is a Bieber story? And the lead actor looks like him. No!Just No.

It's actually a pretty good movie. It's nothing like a 'Bieber story'. Yes, the lead actor looks like him and his story seems similar, but it's a movie like 'Before We Go' or 'Before Sunrise' where two people spend time together, discussing about their lives and everything ...

7.5/10 for me !

It obviously is based off Justin Bieber. Only people who can't see that are oblivious people.

I have the same opinion as you do. They definitely got the idea from Justin Bieber's life. Like you said, the guy looks like JB, he's this "popstar superstar", his name is Jordan and he wants a normal teenage life. I agree with you on this.

Its not like Justin Bieber. The character Jordan and Justin might look similar well to me they don't but I see what you mean but besides that there is nothing else in common. Yes Justin lives a pop star life but thats pretty much it ?.

you cant watch this and honestly believe they didnt even have beiber in mind when they made it. maybe the similarities was for marketing reasons.

Clearly, it's not a direct biopic of Bieber, but his persona/look/lifestyle/fandom were obviously the inspiration for this film. Anyone who doesn't see it is blind... or stupid.

It's massively based on Bieber. The story/style/him is exactly like Biebers story and even some of the scene shots are exactly like those from Believe and Never Say Never. It's cute though. Plus the actors look kinda like him and Gomez.
