I finally watched Pitch Perfect and I really liked it!
I have been wanting to see it and it came on Xfinity On Demand, so I checked it out tonight. If you’ve seen it, you’ll understand the irony of me eating dinner as the movie started, specifically I was eating tomato bisque!
I don’t know if I liked it because I liked to watch Glee for a while and the concept was similar or I liked the cast or I liked the music or maybe a combination of all three.
It was the time old story of a bunch of misfits coming together; freshman new at college, the senior members of the group having been disgraced at last years competition, needing almost all new members for the group set in their old ways thinking that’s the best. In comes new talent, fresh ideas, meeting resistance and finally coming together realizing they need each other.
In addition, there is competition at the school with the all boy acapella group, they have lost count of how many times they have won the national competition, so they’re a bit, lets say, full of themselves.
Through all of that, you have the not so distant themes: There is a love story, parent/child turmoil, standing up and standing out, it’s ok to get nervous, speak your mind and be yourself, awe…
I really liked the music, what they were signing and what was part of the soundtrack, this I liked better than Glee, probably because I knew more of the music in the movie than Glee, that helped.
All in all, I enjoyed it and can see watching it again.
