"I sometimes have a feeling I can do crystal meth, but then I think, mmm... better not."
Beca (Anna Kendrick), a freshman at the fictional Barden University is an aspiring DJ who wants more than anything to be a music producer but her dad makes her go to college first. Whilst there she decides to join the school's all-female vocal ensemble Barden Bellas, led by the authoritarian Aubrey (Anna Camp) who's hell-bent on taking the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella. Problem is everyone is tired of Aubrey’s old-school ways and never- ending performances of Ace of Bass' "The Sign."It's clear that the Bellas need to come up with a new routine if they want to win it all.

Fine. The voices are all cute and really entertaining, but we have to admit that this movie did not offer something BIG (except fat amy, lol, btw I love her!). Plus, isn't it obvious that the "a cappella" songs are somewhat mixed with some accompaniment, especially the last performance.

'Pitch Perfect' Movie Review

In the world of movies that are based on books, here’s one you wouldn’t expect to find on that list: a story about competitive collegiate a cappella groups. Thinking that concept doesn’t translate into entertainment? You couldn’t be more wrong
.
THE GOOD: Take one slightly unsociable college Freshman named Beca (Anna Kendrick), add a father who is bribing her to attend school with the promise of funding her dream of eventually mixing music in California, plus two competing groups of offbeat a cappella singers –the all female “Bella’s” and the all male “Treblemakers” – and the scene is set for something resembling a mashup of ‘Glee’ and ‘Bring it On’. It’s catchy and ridiculous all at once, which –let’s face it – kind of sums up a cappella …
