The 2012 musical film, ‘Pitch Perfect’, directed by Jason
Moore (who has also directed Broadway show Les Miserables, as well as, TV shows
such as One Tree Hill & Dawson’s Creek) is somewhat a comedy film and guaranteed
to get you in stitches with its one liners. ‘Pitch Perfect’ stars actresses
Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson and Anna Camp. This film takes the aspect of,
Disney film, High School Musical and completely revamped it to a modern style.
The actors and actresses work together well to produce a feel good chick flick.
'Pitch Perfect' is typically set in a school but, with older
students in a university as opposed to junior high. It brings ten girls
together after doing the standard auditions to join a all-girls accapella singing
group after failing the previous year at the finals. The auditions show that
not all the ‘prettiest’ or ‘slimmest’ girls have got talent and this is what
this film puts across to the teenage audience. It shows you that not everyone
is the same and are all examples of what society consists of. The leading girl
in the film, Becca, is not interested in uni life and wants to make it by being
a leading record producer, which is quickly changed. She later in the film
finds love, which has its ups and downs.
This outstanding block busting film takes
both 'Bridesmaids' the film and 'Glee' the award winning show and mashes them
together to create a quick-witted, easy to watch, first class marvel. ‘Pitch
Perfect’ has suspense throughout which, while watching, makes your
mind keep focused on the film. It elaborates on issues in the film but the
underlying problems are what happens on a day to day basis with many teenagers.
If you are a ‘Gleek’ or interested in the cheesy musical
films or generally interested in what girls have to say for other girls, I would highly recommend you should give this film a chance.. It is almost guaranteed to make you want to watch the film,
over and over again.
