* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The film is a parody of musician documentaries like (as the title implies) Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. However, the genre it was satirizing hasn't seen a big hit since the aforementioned film, making the subject matter irrelevant among general audiences. This likely explains why the film did poorly enough to be pulled out of theaters after only three weeks despite positive reviews.

* GeniusBonus: The DeletedScene song "Mona Lisa" contains the lyric "and a smile like you're hiding a dick." On the surface, this is just another line indicating that Conner thinks the subject of the Mona Lisa is [[LadyLooksLikeADude ugly]]. But this is actually a reference to the ([[DatedHistory debunked]]) theory that the model for the portrait was actually a man in drag.
