Brittany Snow (John Tucker Must Die, Hairspray)
Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids, Bachelorette, What to Expect When You're Expecting)
My Rating: 5/5
I know it sounds surprising that this was my most anticipated film when such films as Skyfall, The Hobbit, Life of Pie, etc. were also released, but I have to admit I love comedy, I am a bit of a Glee fan, and I have to see everything Rebel Wilson is in, as she is a comedy Goddess. Combine all these factors and out pops Pitch Perfect.
Beca (Kendrick) is a begrudging freshman at Barden University and a wannabe music producer. As hard as she tries to avoid typical college activities, she is coerced into joining The Bellas, an all girl a capella group, where she attempts to mix things up in order to do vocal battle with their male counterparts.
I was right to be excited, getting pitch slapped was every bit as awesome as I expected. Wilson once again steals every scene she's in, but is in no way the only star. Kendrick does one heck of a moody rebel and the rest of the ensemble each bring something different but equally hilarious to the table. The soundtrack is fun and the script is fresh and quite frankly uproarious. I can't fault this flick and really would recommend to anyone that wants to have a great time and laugh up a lung.
