Not exactly perfect but gently amusing

Rating: 5/10 (23 April 2020)

Although I certainly enjoyed some parts of this film, the two leads- Anna Kendrick and Skylar Astin- are just far too obnoxious and self-satisfied for me to really invest in the story. The rest of the cast are a mixed bag, with Adam Devine and Ben Platt giving solid performances and one-trick-pony Rebel Wilson quickly becoming tiresome. I guess if you are a Kendrick or Wilson fan you will probably enjoy this a lot more than I did. Ultimately though, while there are plenty of humorous moments and some enjoyable singing contest scenes, Pitch Perfect is just a little too formulaic and predictable to stick in the memory.
