Pitch Perfect is a fine example of how A Capella concerts can be presented on the silvery screen without much interference from a pesky plot line. A comedy to be sure but also an amazingly talented list of vocal performances is to be found in Pitch Perfect: a fine tribute to the most challenging musical form, A Capella. It will be hard to leave the theater without singing at least one of the songs from this soundtrack, however.
Some elements of bullying are evident but the outcome is sweet music for those weary of too much real life tragedy. But the plot is a simple creative difference between factions in a college A Capella group and most viewers will not lose sleep after seeing it.
That's a fine line to be sure since there are those who say Barbie is too sexy and toy makers have capitalized on that fact for over 50 years. It succeeds in staying just a hair shy of squeaky clean in plot and situation. That would, obviously, be death at the box office. Perfect Pitch stays an octave above the rest in a musical sense but struggles like a banshee to avoid a PG rating. High School choir departments will not just flock to see the film they will probably be ordering the sheet music. Front and center performances by unfamiliar faces who release, well, perfect pitch are nonstop elements. This film may in fact have such quality vocal performances to be considered a vehicle for such. Still though, if the average family includes those who want no bad language or sexuality in their movies, a computer animated film may be preferable. Basically though, the average person will not find much objectionable about this film. Language includes that word that only a veterinarian is allowed to use in polite society. There are only hints of panty raid type college behavior when most films featuring this age group have blatant sex scenes.

Rated PG-13 and having a run time of one-hour-and-52-minutes, this is a movie that is appropriate for the Barbie Doll generation and the date night crowd. Pitch Perfect should be number one with a bullet in a perfect world. The pitch in Pitch Perfect is that college students are actively engaged in dueling vocals as they belt out choral renditions of several contemporary, as well as a few classic, hits. Parents should feel comfortable taking mature children to listen as a nearly all white bread cast sings in beautiful harmony. This is primarily a clean cut version of college with only passing mention of troubling topics. Most music lovers will enjoy this one as the popular unaccompanied vocal form is showcased along with many new talents. But others in the cast are less well-served, and while once the weird asides were reserved for Fat Amy and Hana Mae Lee’s Lilly, now it feels like everyone is getting in on the act, to far lesser effect.Pitch Perfect is a fine example of how A Capella concerts can be presented on the silvery screen without much interference from a pesky plot line. Anna Camp and Brittany Snow continue to do a lot with relatively few lines, walking the fine line between popular cool girl and complete weirdo, and Snow even gets a love interest. Beca is now established as a record producer, and is half-relieved, half-mortified when she’s forced to reunite with the girls for one last go-around. Kendrick does the best she can to keep it together. Amy’s at her strongest when in the corner puncturing the pomposity of the leads, so it feels an odd choice to give the character a dramatic family background. Meanwhile, Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) finds herself back in touch with her long-lost dad (John Lithgow) and must decide whether she can trust the former drug dealer in another storyline straight out of nowhere. Similarly, Ruby Rose’s Calamity and her rock band, Evermoist (ew), are quickly established as the villains of the piece but provoke no reaction from the Bellas and barely affect the plot. The only problem is, the contest is almost completely irrelevant to anything else happening. You’ll have the suspicion that director Trish Sie and her team ran into trouble somewhere.
