| Entertainingly fun to watch ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7/10 |
Beca (Anna Kendrick) who just enrolled to Barden College decided to joined the all-girl a capella group - Bellas after being asked by her dad to try and experience the college life. The Bellas has been struggling all this while to be the champion with their never changing performances, and with the new recruit into their team, things still pretty much stays the same under the leadership of Aubrey (Anna Camp) - Bellas' senior.
Everyone was expecting another Glee rip off with a predictable story line from Pitch Perfect and I say, you all are getting what you've asked for but only better and with a bigger bang! Turns out the movie was awesomely entertaining with great humor and of course great tunes.
Rebel Wilson who plays Fat Amy is really a comedic star on a rise. There's a lot of LOL moment during her appearance in the movie and it was completely fun to watch. It's really hard to fun a dull moment in the movie and please do not expect an impromptu musical session to sing about what's going on at the moment, no, because this is not Glee.
The songs selection was great as most of it was not yet overly used in film/series of such genre. It was anything but that-same-song-again-with-different-cover-version. The music arrangement was creatively done and really gets the audience grooving to it. I love the riff off scene.
Aside from Anna Kendrick, Alexis Knapp is really a hottie in the movie and oh my gosh isn't she tall! I didn't know she can sing (or she didn't?). She's always appear in movie as the pretty face, same goes for this one but at least she has more attitude and character to show off.
Overall the movie was all fun and entertaining to watch. I really had a great time laughing in the cinema and I love the soundtrack for the movie. I would watch it again with no second thought. The best musical comedy film in 2012 so far.
