Now I saw this a while back. As I am a fan of all things musical, singing and dancing, Pitch Perfect was an obvious choice for me. Although it turned out to be slightly more relateable than I had imagined - due to the wide array of music that they used.
This film managed to incorporate rap, pop, Madonna, and of course one of the best film theme songs out there - 'Don't You (Forget About Me)' from the brilliant, 'The Breakfast Club'. It even includes a song with a cup! This music teamed with a bunch of hilarious characters allows the film to be viewable all round, no matter what age or gender. The character of Beca, played by Anna Kendrick, was certainly one that many internet users will relate to: great music taste but uneager to befriend the 'popular' kids. Although she plays the character well, she doesn't really seem to suit the whole 'rebel loner' image. There was just something not quite right about the styling on her, I just couldn't put my finger on it. And it wasn't until about halfway through that I realised Chloe was played by Amber from 'Hairspray' - Brittany Snow. That shows how well she managed to get into the character.
Although this film has many 'chic-flick' qualities, there is no one who won't find the character of Fat Amy hilarious, my favourite line being: 'Horizontal running.' Rebel Wilson really gets into the character, allowing for some brilliant situations. You can really relate to the characters and how individual everyone is, and so you feel pleased that it turns out alright in the end. The best kind of film is when you end on a note which either produces feelings of happiness, sadness, or being completely and utterly mind blown (Inception).
Overall this film turned out to be one of my favourite films, so my IMDb rating was a solid 10 stars out of 10, meaning I will definitely be watching it again.
Sidenote: The cup song used in the film was NOT the original cup song, which is 'Call Your Girlfriend' by Robyn, so can everyone please stop saying it was.
