Pitch Perfect Review

So, how many good songs are in Pitch Perfect: well, about 3 - but who cares? This is a fun movie!


The story revolves around Beca, a reluctant college student, who wants to move to LA to become a music producer. She joins an A Capella group 'the Bellas' and learns to make friends and fit in.


Anna Kendrick is enjoyable and very watchable as Beca. Her character develops and we grow to feel for her. Skylar Astin is wonderfully likeable as the love interest; Adam DeVine is wonderfully dislikeable as the bad guy. However, it's Rebel Wilson who really shines. She steals every seen she's in with some hilarious and endlessly quotable one-liners.


The characters are the real high points of this movie, but the plot really lets it down. It's highly predictable; however, it's entertaining and amusing - and in this kind of film - that's what matters.


It's easy and predictable; but amusing and fun. If you can't watch Pitch Perfect without having a good time; you must be dead inside!

3.5/5
