Michael Ledo The film opens showing us competing collegiate A Cappella groups. The announcers are very snarky which sets the humorous tine for the movie.Female announcer(Elizabeth Banks): "Nothing makes a woman feel more like a girl then a man singing like a boy."Male announcer (John Michael Higgins): " Women are about as good at A Cappella as they are at being doctors."There is some battle of the sexes banter always going on.The action then picks up for the following year's recruitment at Barden University. The main focus is on Rebecca (Anna Kendrick from "Twilight"). She is the daughter of a college professor who wants to be a music producer and arranger. She is pursued by Jesse (Skylar Astin) who wants to score movies. They end up in rival groups who all seem to have pun names, i.e. "The Treble Makers" or "The Minstrel Cycles". The language they speak to each other is also punny such as getting "pitch slapped."The female group is lead by Aubrey (Anna Camp) who wants to do the same songs over and over again to the dismay of Rebecca and the snarky judges. The movie is predictable and pretentious. It is a film designed for a female teen audience, although I was able to enjoy it as well. Anna Kendrick's make-up was perfect throughout the film, a flawless beauty. The singing and choreography was enjoyable and professional. Perhaps the best scene was early in the film when they had a "riff-off" when competing A Cappella groups ad lib songs in "battle" against each another.The diverse female characters, such as "Fat Amy"(Rebel Wilson) made the film enjoyable. A film you can watch with your teen/preteen daughter and not get too embarrassed.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Sexual innuendos. Some adult/teen language.

FandomFanatic21 Pitch Perfect, the movie that demands to be seen about a female-college a capella group full of misfits who want the show that they are more than hot-messes. Pitch Perfect spreads the message about being different and being accepted. The movie is funny and full of music with heart. Just of bunch of girls doing what they love together. The movie will have you laughing and on your feet singing along."Even though some of you are pretty thin, you all have fat hearts, and that's what matters."-Fat Amy, Pitch Perfect

mundhra_mayank I am not a fan of either musicals or of chick flicks. So I was pleasantly surprised when I finally saw this movie and found it to be pretty fun. Well strictly speaking, this one's not exactly a musical. It's like a movie with songs. If you start calling this a musical then all of Bollywood is basically musicals. But whatever the technical term, the movie is fun.1) The story line has nothing new to offer and is basically what any college competition based movie would offer. So no points for the movie in this space.2) The characters aren't developed well. For example, the main character Beca is a sort of dark and lonely character which the story offers no explanation for except that the parents got divorced. The other characters aren't even worked on at all.3) The casting is great for everyone except Anna Kendrick. She looks uncomfortable in a lot of places, and her face seems really weird when she sings sometimes. But Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson), Chloe (Brittany Snow) and Jesse (Skylar Astin) are totally adorable.4) The music is, as you'd expect from a movie about music, pretty good. It is the music and the humor that drives this movie through and through.5) The direction of the movie was pretty ordinary. There wasn't much scope for great stuff either. So job well done. Although one thing they failed to do was create the tension before the last performance. We have all seen a lot of college movies, the protagonists most often end up winning. But they could have at least tried to show it in a different way.Overall I would suggest that if you like movies that are simply fun, you'll like this one the same.

lilasalovaara The movie didn't impress me much. But i gave it two stars instead of 1 because i could watch the whole movie without dying inside. At least that's something if it didn't keep my interest up.
