Pitch Perfect (2012)
College student Beca knows she does not want to be part of a clique, but that's exactly where she finds herself after arriving at her new school. Thrust in among mean gals, nice gals and just plain weird gals, Beca finds that the only thing they have in common is how well they sing together. She takes the women of the group out of their comfort zone of traditional arrangements and into a world of amazing harmonic combinations in a fight to the top of college music competitions.

Good movie but grossly overrated
Crappy film
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
I'm surprised to see so many reviews of complete disgust for this movie! I can totally understand not loving it to the extent that I do, but to hear reviewers say things like "I would rather have my eye balls ripped out of my head than see this movie ever again" seems REALLY extreme. I'm a big movie person and have only seen a handful of movies THAT bad, and I can't see this being one of them even if it's not your cup of tea. I really liked Anna Kendrick in her awkward roll. I really enjoyed all the music, though I do wish they would have refrained from adding obvious bass and what not and actually stayed true to a capella. I also could have done without the second round of projectile
I'm very late to this series, having dismissed it as a teen girl movie. Of course, my teen daughters loved it. When it got a third movie, I thought it might be worth trying out. I was pleasantly surprised! A very good cast with some great music numbers. It wasn't the typical trashy college movie, so it can be enjoyed by the whole family. Also there were a few great laugh out loud moments.
I am not a fan of either musicals or of chick flicks. So I was pleasantly surprised when I finally saw this movie and found it to be pretty fun. Well strictly speaking, this one's not exactly a musical. It's like a movie with songs. If you start calling this a musical then all of Bollywood is basically musicals. But whatever the technical term, the movie is fun.1) The story line has nothing new to offer and is basically what any college competition based movie would offer. So no points for the movie in this space.2) The characters aren't developed well. For example, the main character Beca is a sort of dark and lonely character which the story offers no explanation for except that the parents got divorced. The other characters aren't even worked on at all.3) The casting is great for everyone except Anna Kendrick. She looks uncomfortable in a lot of places, and her face seems really weird when she sings sometimes. But Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson), Chloe (Brittany Snow) and Jesse (Skylar Astin) are totally adorable.4) The music is, as you'd expect from a movie about music, pretty good. It is the music and the humor that drives this movie through and through.5) The direction of the movie was pretty ordinary. There wasn't much scope for great stuff either. So job well done. Although one thing they failed to do was create the tension before the last performance. We have all seen a lot of college movies, the protagonists most often end up winning. But they could have at least tried to show it in a different way.Overall I would suggest that if you like movies that are simply fun, you'll like this one the same.
If music is part of your life in any way, you'll love the movie, it takes a little time to get used to the movie, but about halfway there is a pleasant, flowing and light connection. Fall in love with the strange characters, and the funnyness of a-cappella, just a funny movie that goes beyond rating. Music is a unique art that can touch any person.
