One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Good movie but grossly overrated

Blistering performances.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

I was a prisoner of this plodding, unfunny, downmarket predictable anti-confection during a car ride. I was driving 14-year olds 500 miles and we needed movies for our onboard video system. I managed to get incensed. This PG-13 "tween" film was so outlandishly sexual that I saw fit to accompany the whole movie with my very own morals narrative. A very special type of dubbing. And because our onboard TV puts the sound controls in front of me (thank you Lord), I got to reduce the volume for my "Morality Dubs" every time the dialogue edged into the abyss. There were plenty of abysses. And I narrated all of them. With a sense of humor designed to illuminate young boys who we want to become gentlemen, not pigs (yes, I said that).A movie for piglets to wallow in.

I'm surprised to see so many reviews of complete disgust for this movie! I can totally understand not loving it to the extent that I do, but to hear reviewers say things like "I would rather have my eye balls ripped out of my head than see this movie ever again" seems REALLY extreme. I'm a big movie person and have only seen a handful of movies THAT bad, and I can't see this being one of them even if it's not your cup of tea. I really liked Anna Kendrick in her awkward roll. I really enjoyed all the music, though I do wish they would have refrained from adding obvious bass and what not and actually stayed true to a capella. I also could have done without the second round of projectile

Pitch Perfect (2012) is an example of a movie that exists for the sole purpose of entertaining an audience in a really fun way. Almost all movies are meant to entertain in some way, but they differ in how they go about it. Some try to teach lessons and send important messages, where as others are there to make you laugh and feel good, Pitch Perfect is one of the latter. It's not limited to a teenage/young adult audience, but that is the main target audience, and I believe that it's one of the best young adult movies we've seen in a while. It's not just thrown together like a sloppy mess, it's actually very well done. The casting is near perfection, especially Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, and Skylar Astin who are the spirit of the movie in my opinion. The other actors do a great job too, but I thought those three just really shined the brightest. Elizabeth Banks and is hilarious too. The writing is smart, entertaining, and has a funny-sweet tone that really works. I highly suggest this movie for everyone!

If music is part of your life in any way, you'll love the movie, it takes a little time to get used to the movie, but about halfway there is a pleasant, flowing and light connection. Fall in love with the strange characters, and the funnyness of a-cappella, just a funny movie that goes beyond rating. Music is a unique art that can touch any person.
