Pitch Perfect- "Acca-amazing!"

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2013)

"Acca-hilarious!" Pitch Perfect taking acapella to a new level of competition. Who ever knew that acapella groups even existed before this film? These types of groups make show choir seem amateur. The Bellas, an all-girls singing group, changes when all was lost at the last year's competition and needs to find new, yet talented singers. As you watch the comedic scenes of trying to 'stabilize' the new members, major characters will definitely not be forgotten because of their funny ways.
Beca, an aspiring disc jockey, stumbles upon the world of acapella. While her father forces a college education upon her, she starts to see how she can incorporate her talent to her new life-changing experience. Beginning a new life chapter, she leads us to great characters and a romantic, Romeo and Juliet type of situation.
Rebel Wilson a.k.a. "Fat Amy," gives the film great humor. Other characters like, Lily the quiet Asian to Cynthia the lesbian can't compare to Wilson's character. The film would not be complete enough without the antics of "Fat Amy." Her interjections within scenes are too die for and you will just have to watch it to understand. Along with that, Lily while being a 'stereotypical' depiction of Asians, being quiet makes her character funny without saying. Get it? Without saying? Anyways, when watching this film, these characters will definitely get laughter in the air. No doubt about it.
As the original Bellas, Chloe and Aubrey try to figure out how to work with their new members of the Bellas. Chloe and Aubrey are both portraying two blonde stuck up girls who think they are both better than everyone else. It is quite funny to see how they go from all thin 'perfect' girls to 'different' yet somewhat talented girls. This type of portrayal makes it stereotypical and hilarious to watch when they see what the ending results are for their new group.
Throughout the film, music is definitely the other element of this film connected to comedy. The Bellas, known for their old school ways, Aubrey continues this idea. Beca, a new Bella, can see right away that it is time for change. Sometimes old school is good, but this time around it just wasn't cutting it. The scenes of tension and trying to deal with the new group are too funny. Music definitely gave it an 'humph' and transitioning from old school to present day music is very hard to accept at times. Although, old school music is always good and all you really need to do is add a little bit of surprise and comedy.
With this type of film, the actresses exceeded the expectations of comedy. And the talent is unbelievable. So for anyone who is a music addict or just wanting a good laugh with some music pizazz, this film is definitely it. You have to remember that, comedy plus romance and multiply it with music will always make it worth your while. Well at least for me it did.
