Pitch Perfect

Mashup Glee and Bring It On in a college movie and what do you get?  A Capella music, in a Superbad Goes to College way.  Even McLovin is here.



Anna Kendrick stars as a college freshman who wants to go to LA to be a DJ.  The only reason she's in college is that her father is a professor and it is free.  But Dad, I hate this.  Give it one year and join a club... if you don't like it you can go to LA.

So in the shopping mall of matriculation that is a familiar college scene, she comes across the Bellas, who are looking for new members after an unfortunate incident at last year's contest. The motley crew is assembled, looking very Bridesmaids like.  But fortunately this movie has a Farrelly brother's heart and the humor is more manufactured but yet somewhat wry.  A good combination.

The music sets the movie apart.  Like other fine movies with original music and 80s theme, The Wedding Singer, I found my toes tapping and interested to see how it turns out.
