I love comedies, though I’m not too keen on musical ones. I find that most musical comedies follow the same plot (with a few alterations here and there) played by different characters shot in different locations.
I felt that Pitch Perfect came closely to becoming just another cliched comedy, however what differentiated it from becoming another over used idea was it’s modernity
Anna Kendrick plays Beca, an aspiring DJ forced to go to college by her father (John Hickey), a literature professor. She is later recruited by a desperate a cappella group, ‘The Bellas’, and tries to sweep away their ancient traditions and allow contemporary music to take over. While in the process she meets Jesse (Skylar Astin), her colleague at a local radio station, and by the end of the film they fall in love (of course), the END.
Yes a tad too cliched i think, but I still loved (yes loved) it. Why? Because it was funny. I could not stop laughing while watching it. I think allowing Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) to keep her Australian accent was the best thing the director could do for the film.
It explored the diversity of modern day college students and created humor by exaggerating their characters, for instance;
– Lilly
– Stacie
-etc
All in all i loved the film and I can’t wait to watch it again.
You go girl!
