  • Starring: Anna Camp, Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow, Rebel Wilson
  • Summary: Beca is that girl who'd rather listen to what's coming out of her headphones than what's coming out of you. Arriving at her new college, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together. When Beca takes this acoustic singing group out of their world of traditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mash-ups, they fight to climb their way to the top of the cutthroat world of college a cappella. This could wind up either the coolest thing they'll ever do or the most insane, and it will probably be a little of both. (Universal Pictures)… Expand

    A comedy about an all-female collegiate a cappella group. And to paraphrase one of the characters in the movie, it's A-Ca-Awesome.

    Rebel Wilson is the peroxided Aussi who stole scenes as Kristen Wiig's roommate in "Bridesmaids," and this is the role that will turn her into a star.

    The music, of course, is the engine that makes the whole exercise go, tapping into a genre-spanning collection of tunes, but every bit as important to the film's success is its unexpected humor, which flirts with raunchy but stops juuuust short of crossing any lines that would have earned it an R rating.

    So funny. Rebel Wilson will become famous because of this film. Highly recommended. My wife dragged me to this one, but I am glad that I went. 10/10… Expand

    WTF? I didn't think it was possible for a movie in 2012 to be funnier than both "The Dictator" and "21 Jump Street" but Pitch Perfect takes the title. Tons of character development, impressive singing/choreography scenes, and great characters are simply the icing on the cake.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pitch Perfect is about a young girl named Beca (Anna Kendrick) who is attending college for the first time. Her dad, who is a teacher at the University, is up her ass the whole time about making new friends, and trying new things….already cliché. She has a passion for making her own music. After being harassed by one of the lead singers of the bellas girl group, (Chloe) played by an identical version of Drew Berrymore, asks Beca to join her girl-singing group. From here, the story becomes familiar, and nothing new comes from it. Beca meets a nice person played by (Skylar Astin) who she does not want any type of relationship with, but she ends up falling for him, and of course, her dance team ends up winning after a disqualification form another team. Therefore, we have a very familiar plot that has nothing new about it. I was not looking for this movie to have a great story. What I was looking for was how funny this movie could be. There were some really, funny-laugh out moments, the second act, and the third act defiantly had the funnier moments of the film. What the falter ended up becoming was that yes, there were some real good funny moments, but it was also upended by many flat jokes as well, especially in the first 25 minutes of the movie. Most of the characters were flat, and did not have much to work with. Overall, Pitch Perfect had some good moments, but not enough to carry out the movie.… Expand
