This film is loosely based off a non-fiction novel Pitch Perfect: The Quest for Collegiate A Cappella Glory written by Mickey Rapkin. Beca, a freshman at Barden University, decides to join the Bellas. The Bellas are an all girl singing group that competes against other groups including the male group from their university. Beca brings some much needed changes to make her group win.
This film was directed by Jason Moore. This film story is a parody of musical competitions. It follows a familiar story plot; the outcast decides to join a strange group and in the end changes years of tradition and discovers herself. However, what makes this film original is its humor. Interestingly enough, a lot of these film perform comedy mainly seen by men and make it work. Each of the girls have a different comedy style making their characters stand out on screen. Naturally, films like this are highly predictable. There is also some mild adult humor, but nothing too over the top. The film also take popular music and revisions it like most other recent musical films do. The cast worked really well together-playing off each other's comedic style. Anna Kendrick played the role of Beca. She was great creating a very familiar role. She was able to showcase her musical and acting talent as a leading role. Skylar Astin played the role of Jesse. He was good in his role, but did not really stand out from the female cast. Brittany Snow played the role of Chloe. She was good creating a character to oppose Kendrick.
I give this film 4 out of 5 stars! It is a great musical parody film, but it plays off very familiar groundings.
