“Pitch Perfect” is a funny, amusing and dizzy performance set in the competitive world of college acappella groups.
“Pitch Perfect” graduates the “Glee” world of competitive singing from high school hallways to a college campus.
If you’re a “Glee” fan or you loved “Bring It On,” you’ll probably get a kick out of this snarky comedy full of pop music hits.
As far has college movies go it is no Van Wilder but I laughed a lot during this movie.It really surprised me. I was expecting more of a chick flick and I got into the story a little bit.
The movie stars Beca (Ana Kendrick) a smart, rebellious freshman who reluctantly joins the Bellas, the all-female acappella group on campus. when she needs to find a campus activity to participate in. Two of the group members are Aubrey (Anna Camp) and Chloe (Brittany Snow), the leaders of The Bellas and the third is Jesse (Skylar Astin), her fellow record-store employee, love interest and a member of the rival all-male Treblemakers. After much begging, particularly after hearing her sing in the shower, Aubrey and Chloe persuade Beca to join them.
The laughs come quickly from beginning to end with an opening that will leave the audience both laughing and disgusted all in one and a fight scene that will have you grinning from ear to ear.
The supporting ensemble is also ridiculously hilarious. Fat Amy (Rabel Wilson of Bridemaids and Bachelorette) and Bumper ( Adam DeVine) are the movie’s comedic lynch pins who the entire cast feed off.
The contest formula, in which a movie plot is centered around winning, is the central narrative of the movie and brings all the main characters together in a delightful and a musical crescendo that the entire family can enjoy.
Pitch Perfect opens October 5.
