\"DSCF0280\"<\/a>I sat down to watch Pitch Perfect<\/em> with some skepticism about whether or not I would like it, but by the time the credits came I was already set on buying my own copy.<\/p>\n

Pitch Perfect<\/em> was adapted from a book by\u00a0Mickey Rapkin and directed by Jason Moore.<\/p>\n

It follows Becca, played by Anna Kendrick, a college freshman that just wants to move to Los Angeles to be a D.J. and music producer.<\/p>\n

When she goes to college she is pressured by her dad to join a campus group. Becca is talked into trying out for the Bellas, an all girls a cappella group lead by Chloe, played by Brittany Snow. Beca starts the Bellas rehearsals with a chip on her shoulder and a ‘too cool for school’ attitude.<\/p>\n

In her spare time, Beca pursues her passion of music by working at the school radio station which is where she meets Jesse, played by Skylar Astin.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0623[1]\"<\/a>Jesse is a member of a rival a cappella group and flirts with Beca from their first meeting.<\/p>\n

Skylar Astin is completely believable in the role of a dorky, sweet, college guy.<\/p>\n

To Beca’s surprise, she begins to get close to the girls in her group and lose some of the negativity.<\/p>\n

She becomes invested in the Bellas and tries to inject new energy into their dull performances as they head to nationals.<\/p>\n

While many have compared it to Glee, I find that it lacks constant drama found in Glee.<\/p>\n

While the music is good and all the voices sound good, it was the quirky characters that made the movie stand out.<\/p>\n

Rebel Wilson’s performance as Fat Amy was filled with brilliant lines delivered with amazing timing.<\/p>\n

The quiet death obsessed asian and the butch lesbian are just two more characters who help round out the group.<\/p>\n

The movie keeps a light-hearted feel never getting too heavy.<\/p>\n

It is a perfect movie for a good laugh with friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
