Pitch Perfect Perfection

Rating: 10/10 (19 September 2012)

I just saw this movie in an advanced screening through my university and I have to say, I was blown away. I usually like these types of movies so I was gearing myself up for satisfaction (I mean if you saw the trailer how couldn't you?) and boy, did they deliver! It was hilarious, fresh and just plain awesome. Yes, some of the vocals were a little auto tuned or weak compared to real acapella groups and the actors are all pretty much over the age of 25 but I still think they did a good job. Rebel Wilson was hilarious as Fat Amy. If you thought her jokes in the trailer are pretty funny, there is even more where that came from! Skylar Astin is thoroughly adorable as love interest Jesse (and his AMAZING VOCALS brings me back to his days as Georg in the original production of Spring Awakening with Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff) and he makes me fall in love with him from the very first scene. Anna Kendrick is believable as a college freshmen, although the fact that she is actually 27 (along with Brittany Snow who is also 27, Anna Camp who is 30 and Rebel Wilson who is 27) kind of puts a damper on that. Overall the movie is great and I would totally spend money to see it in theaters when it comes out on October 5!!
