Trailer for Pitch Perfect

A feisty coed joins a collegiate a cappella group and upgrades their song selection for the 21st century during the run-up to a major competition in this melodic comedy from Tony-nominated Avenue Q director Jason Moore.

A feisty coed joins a collegiate a cappella group and upgrades their song selection for the 21st century during the run-up to a major competition in this melodic comedy from Tony-nominated Avenue Q director Jason Moore. Drifting past the various cliques after arriving at college, Beca (Anna Kendrick) pays more attention to the jams pumping in her headphones than the people she passes on her way to class. But all that changes the moment she stumbles into the one place where every misfit has a voice -- the campus a cappella group. Although the competition amongst the singers proves surprisingly fierce, there's just one aspect of the group Beca can't wrap her head around: All of the songs they perform are at least a decade old. Convinced that they can do better by adding some contemporary tunes into the mix, Beca whips up an exciting new set list that will set the group apart and leave their rivals in the dust. Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, and Rebel Wilson co-star.

    Henry Barnes, Guardian [UK] The song's the same, but Pitch Perfect is a great cover version. – Full review External link
  2. Negative review
    Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph Amusing though the movie can be, there's something missing in the warmth department. Like songs without accompaniment, its jokes lack any charm or liking for the characters. – Full review External link
  3. Positive review
    Cath Clarke, Time Out '30 Rock' and 'New Girl' writer Kay Cannon has created brilliant characters. – Full review External link
  4. Positive review
    Olly Richards, Empire Magazine It's the kind of silly you can only get away with when your writing is very smart. A little bit odd and very, very funny. – Full review External link
  5. Positive review
    Jim Schembri, 3AW There's girl-bonding aplenty in this upbeat comedy about a high-school a capella competition in which voice-only singing, envy and vomiting play key roles...it's Glee with extra sass. – Full review External link
  6. Positive review
    Cara Nash, FILMINK (Australia) It's formulaic, but it conjures up its own offbeat vibe and the musical numbers are gold. – Full review External link
