I went to see Pitch Perfect and it was surprisingly really funny, because I do not usually like musical types of movies but this one was one of the best. At first I thought that this movie would be one of the ones with random outbreaks of song, but this movie had a nice storyline and it was funny, the singing was amazing. Plus since the move was about an acapella group, it was interesting and kind of impressive to see the actors make the track to the music with their voices. This movie is about Beca (Anna Kendrick) a girl who wants more than anything to be a music producer but her dad makes her go to college first. Finally her dad says that if she goes to college for a year, joins a club and really tries her best, he will let her drop out and go to California. This gives her some incentive to do well in school and join the Barden Bella's, the school's all girl acapella group. The Bella's arch rival is the all boys group, the Trebles. Beca starts to fall for a member of the Trebles, Jesse (Skylar Astin), which is forbidden by the Bella's uptight leader, Aubrey (played by Anna Camp). The Bella's are old fashioned and Beca is tired of it so she quits, then she rejoins and makes the Bella's better than ever, new, and ready to win. Whether they win against the Trebles is a mystery that you'll have to watch to find out. I love this movie and the characters very eclectic to say the least. My favorite character is Fat Amy because she's hilarious and says whatever is on her mind, and it shows because she calls herself Fat Amy. I absolutely love this movie and will definitely be watching it repeatedly. I give it five out of five stars because I liked that the actors could sing well and the way that they made the music track with their voices is amazing. I recommend this movie for anyone who likes music and comedy, because together its it is a great combination. I like that the movie is not just about the singing and that it has a good storyline as well. I recommend this movie for ages mature twelve and up because the movie has some foul language but overall is a good movie. Victoria Burns, age 14, KIDS FIRST! Film Critic.

Beca, a freshman at Barden University, is cajoled into joining The Bellas, her school's all-girls singing group. Injecting some much needed energy into their repertoire, The Bellas take on their male rivals in a campus competition.
