Overall, it was acca-awesome just because it was so funny. It was also awesome because I got to see it with my brother and his fiancee.
Anyhow . . .
Obviously riding on the glee-club/singing fad's coat tails, Pitch Perfect is a movie about an all-girl singing group trying to win the national title as well as beating the all boy group from the same school. A new girl shows up and changes everything so that they can finally win. That's about it. Not much else happens . . . except for a few tossed cookies.
I'm going to pick on Anna Kendrick for a moment because she is, arguably, the star of the movie. I will give her props for being able to sing pretty well. But she spent way too much time around Kristen Stewart filming the Twilight series seeing as she has also been diagnosed as having Dead-Face Syndrome -- neither of them are capable of emulating any emotion or changing their facial expressions more than a millimeter for each mood their character is in.
It's awful.
Admit it - you know you think it is too.
Anna Camp also seems to feed off of Anna Kendrick's lack of expression and dead-pan acting. Whatever. The other characters make up for both Annas.
Brittany Snow is also wonderful. The red hair was great and she's so talented. I mean, did you see Hairspray?
Rebel Wilson is fantastic. She's definitely my favorite girl there. She's just perfection in a crowd of skinny people taking pride in herself and her size. Her bluntness and comments make her perfect. I love it.
Yes, it is playing off the success of gLee, but seeing as they are also mocking the TV series so I'll let it stand. Can't really blame them for riding the current glee club phenomenon -- they want money and this trend is popular enough that they are assured maximum profit.
I loved it though.It maybe stupid and silly, but I think it's fantastic.
