We are Glee fans here, even my teenager enjoys the music and dancing and when Pitch Perfect was in the theaters, she was hoping to see it because it looked to be similar to the show. That didn’t happen, but we were excited to receive the DVD/Blu-ray combo pack for review.
The Pitch Perfect ensemble includes Anna Kendrick (Twilight, Up in the Air), Anna Camp (The Help), Brittany Snow (Hairspray) and Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids, Bachelorette). Pitch Perfect is “completely hilarious and completely original” – Dean Richards, WGN-TV-WGN America, and is the must-own movie that you’ll want to watch over and over again, just in time for the holidays!
My 14 year-old’s take: Beca is forced to attend college because her dad works there but she wants to be a DJ. She joins the acapella group and wants it to be “poppy” by adding new mashups so the can be contenders in the college music competitions. Having just started high school I relate to Beca a little bit, and the whole movies is about finding yourself, fitting in with a vast number of kids, what it means to be popular, and a lot more. Fat Amy (Fat Patricia) is hilarious. Beca likes a boy and of course he competes against them in competition. It’s a romance drama, but with tons of comedy, music, singing, and dancing, what I love! Digital copies are always cool because I can put them on my iPad and watch on car trips! We are getting a Blu-ray player soon, so I’m excited to see all the cool bonus features that DVD alone don’t have!
