Pitch Perfect is one of them throughly entertaining films that keeps the humour going throughout, which is a hard thing to do. The cast were all perfect for the roles that they played and you found you could relate to at least one of the characters in some sort of way which made it even more fun viewing. Although the film focuses around the main girl Beca played by rising star Anna Kendrick who plays the typical rebellious girl who has aspirations and feels like she needs no one else to help her, joins Barden college where she is sort of roped and blackmailed into joining the female a cappella group called the Barden Bellas who turn out to be a strange bunch of misfits that fit perfectly together. The best laugh out loud moments probably being provided by Fat Amy played by the funny Rebel Wilson and Lilly played by Hana Mae Lee who at one point silently declares 'I ate my twin in the womb' and its one of them points that if you catch what she's said you'll laugh but if you miss it her comedic moments can be overlooked.
The Barden Bellas compete with other a cappella groups in order to try and win at the finals, with Beca helping to find a new way to represent the group and how to show off their voices along with the teamwork that falters at one point they manage to finally achieve winning in the final. Alongside this is a romance between Beca and Jesse as he teaches her to open up and shows he cares for her, but with him in the rival group this causes trouble and friction between the members of the group especially hot headed leader Aubrey who humiliates herself at the beginning of the film. Pitch Perfect is full of great songs that just make you want to sing along and join in, the best musical point I would say is the Riff Off where rivals gather and compete with songs about sex, his brings out the competition and wit in both the males and females. It is a formulaic film as you can pretty much guess where the story is going about twenty minutes in but you forgive that due to original and quick witted lines, the script for the film is stellar.
Verdict: If you like comedy this is a must see film packed full of laughter.
