Pitch Perfect

Rating: 9/10 (13 March 2019)

Don't you just love watching boring movies with no humor, no point of direction, no lesson plus shallow main characters and that same old same old plot of oh-i-love-you-but-we-can't-be-together or we-appear-to-have-nothing-in-common-but-we-are-meant-to-be or i-have-a-secret-that-has-the-power-to-change-existence or the i-just-discovered-i-have-a-totally-unrealistic-power-that-would-never-happen-in-reality- but-i-am-suddenly-the-biggest-hero-to-ever-walk-this-earth?
Yeah, me either.
That is why i absolutely loved the movie Pitch Perfect. It is the exact opposite of this *lovely* scenario I know we have all experienced every time we go and see that "new movie everyone is talking about". Pitch Perfect is exciting from start to finish by always taking twists and doing the total opposite from what you'd expect. It is full of humor and wit. Watching the movie is like an involuntary ab workout cause you'll laugh so much. It also has a clear point and lesson to it but is shown through an entertaining and relatable way, and the characters could not be more helpful to this plot. Each character was clearly given thought and is exotic and new and unique. Who just sits and suddenly goes, "I want a confident fat australian who thinks she is insanely talented". That is comedic gold! And the plot is so refreshing compared to other mainstream box office hits. Overall Pitch Perfect is a refreshing relatable and hilarious movie that still yields an important and relevant lesson that is completely worth spending your time watching.
From singing duets in the showers to a crazy funny fat australian blonde Pitch Perfect has got it all. It takes place at the beginning of a new school year where our main character Becca is a Freshmen at the *wonderful* Barden University. She dreams of being a star DJ in LA but her education oriented dad forces her to do at least one year in college involved in a club. Well Becca is reluctant and tries not to do anything but somehow finds herself in a pretty terrible Acapella team called the Bellas after a *unique* encounter in the bathroom. She struggles at first to get along with her fellow teammates and balancing it all alongside her love life and school, but begins to figure everything out. as for the underdog unsuccessful acapella team everyone thought couldn't be any worse but they somehow did? Well I guess you'll just have to watch and see.
This movie I could 100% see being designed by a bunch of people who sat in a circle and asked themselves "What's the wildest most absurd characters we can think of?" And if that's what they did it certainly worked well for them. Pitch Perfect has characters that just make you stop and wonder who the person who came up with this was because it is comedic brilliance. There is a character on the movie named Lily who rarely speaks and
Is almost completely inaudible whenever she does but in her faint little mouse voice says things such as "I set fires to fuel joy" and, "sometimes i do this to look like a fish" *while making a weird sucked-in fish face*. Or another character who is so out of the box i'd like to know what the creators were on is Fat Amy. she is australian and says phrases like, "Oh I am horizontal running" or, "My real name is Fat Patricia". These exotic and wild characters enhance the plot and make the movie all around more enjoyable to watch.
This movie also has such a light and refreshing plot, it's like taking a drink from an ice cold lemonade on a hot summer's day but in movie form. I can't say i've personally ever seen a movie about a terrible acapella team and their in-school rivals with secret love relationships and cheaters and liars and within all that some of the funniest conversations ever. But that may just be me. This Acapella Team is so determined to win and the journey to nationals is quite bumpy with surgeries and relationships and questioning of leaders and teams falling apart but it leads to such a happy and uplifting ending whenever they w- nevermind i'll let you watch it and see!
Overall the movie has such a light and fun vibe to it impossible not to enjoy. I promise if you watch this movie enough you will have abs of steel from laughing so hard. The movie was so well planned and thought out with so much attention to detail and humor. It has it all, A unique plot, relatable humor, and crazy characters that will leave you wanting more. You will Probably enjoy this movie if you like movies with large friend groups doing funny stupid things like Grown ups, or funny Musicals like Gypsy.
