Big musical fun!

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2013)

After seeing a lot of good comments about this movie throughout the Internet, I decided to give it a shot. Big surprise, I was very impressed! This is a good movie that balances character development with jokes and songs. It takes a lot of jabs at Glee, all in good fun of course. Honestly, I didn't have a lot of hope for this movie, but now, I'm glad to see that I was wrong.
Pitch Perfect tells the story of Beca (Anna Kendrick), a girl who just enters college as a way to achieve her dream of becoming a DJ. Aubrey (Anna Camp) and Chloe (Brittany Snow) are members of the Bellas, an all-female a cappella group who seeks members to enter a national competition. Upon seeing Beca sing, the Bellas see Beca as the key to victory. Beca is not interested, but her father convinces her to give the group a chance. During her time of the group, Beca begins to learn the value of friendship. She also begins to fall in love with Jesse (Skylar Austin), a member of a rival group. Needless to say, hilarity ensues.
In this movie you fall in love with all the characters, from the quirky and irresponsible Fat Amy to the incredibly nice Chloe. At first, i thought that musicals were only to have fun and nothing else, but this movie proved me that even in musicals, you can be emotionally invested in the characters. You can sympathize with their struggles, you get to know their hopes and dreams.
I hope this review can convince you of watching this great movie.
