Review: Wilson’s pitch-slapping performance Pitch Perfect

0
0

Yes, Pitch Perfect is yet another singing movie. But no, it is not painful.

Pitch Perfect is Hollywood's best musical offering

In fact I would go as far as saying this is Hollywood’s best musical offering so far.

Pitch Perfect follows Beca (Anna Kendrick), an apsiring DJ who would much rather be in Los Angeles than a freshman at Barden Univeristy. But of course, Daddy wants her to get an education first. The Barden Bellas are an all-girls acappella singing group, and after what can only be described as an embarrassing failure at last year’s finals, they are forced to recruit new singers. One of them is Beca.

The film follows the girls as they prepare for the acappella competition of the year against their biggest enemies, The Treble Makers, but with an up-tight, high-strung leader and girls who are on the verge of being a little too weird, the group struggles.

With good music and some pretty impressive singing, a little love interest and a whole lot of Rebel Wilson, director Jason Moore provides a fresh take on a story-line that could quite possibly have gone terribly wrong.

The highlight of the movie is definitely Wilson’s character, Fat Amy, who brings a mix of rebel and energetic wit to the film. 

You will be laughing for days after watching her performance. It is refreshing to see a character with so much confidence.

The end performances of both acappella groups are entertaining and toe-tapping catchy. I have no doubt you will at least smile.

Some might say the film is tolerable. Some might say it lacks appeal or is too sickly sweet. But after months of new release action movies, Pitch Perfect is a light and playful refreshment of pure entertainment.

Pitch Perfect was released in cinemas on September 29.

Rating: 4/5
