"no, I'm not drunk at all. you're just blurry." - Jesse

Beca Mitchell (Anna Kendrick) is a college freshman who reluctantly joins an all-female a cappella group, The Barden Bellas, after being pushed by her friends. as the team struggles to reclaim their lost glory, they must learn to work together, embrace new ideas, and deliver a show-stopping performance at the national championships. along the way, friendships are formed, rivalries spark, and music becomes the unifying force.

read my review below (may contain spoilers):

watched August 17th, 2024

I watched Pitch Perfect because I’d heard so much about its music and funny moments. it’s a typical college movie, but instead of focusing on sororities or sports teams, it gives us a cappella competitions. that is refreshing, and it makes the movie stand out. I love the way they use familiar songs, blending them in creative ways. everyone in this movie can sing, which is amazing to watch. one of my favourite characters is Fat Amy, played by Rebel Wilson. I didn’t expect her to sing, but she surprises me with her talent and her sense of humour, obviously. she steals the show every time she’s on screen. her personality is so likeable, and she adds a lot of charm to the movie. another favourite is Ben Platt, who plays Benji. I know him from Dear Evan Hansen, and I’m a huge fan of his Broadway performance (though I’ve only seen bootlegs). I’m a bit disappointed that Benji doesn’t get much screentime. he’s rejected from the male a cappella group, which feels unfair, but at least he gets a chance to perform later. even then, the song doesn’t really show off his vocal range or power. he deserves a big solo moment with high notes; it would have been amazing to hear. still, he brings a lot of heart to the story.

Anna Kendrick’s character, Beca, is okay as the lead, but she feels more like a supporting character. she doesn’t have that "umph" factor to make her truly memorable. the movie also feels rushed at times, like it’s trying to fit too much into its runtime. some of the characters don’t get enough development, which makes it hard to connect with them fully. the best part of the movie is definitely the climactic performance. it’s exciting and makes all the build-up worth it. the energy, the harmonies, and the choreography come together perfectly. this scene alone deserves a place in my rewatch library. the movie is fun overall, even with its flaws, and it’s the kind of feel-good story I can enjoy again and again.

final verdict: I think it was okay/watchable

What made you want to start writing fanfiction?

[rai-knightshade-art]

Here's your bi-annual reminder that I started life as a pony artist as a teenager, aka it's Current-Hyperfixation-but-as-Ponies time!

(Gen 4/MLP:FiM style, not Gen 5, if that wasn't clear)

Also I need y'all to appreciate those names cause they took me for-fucking-EVER to come up with lemme tell ya, do you know how hard it is to come up with a pair of music-related nouns/adjectives that both fit the character AND sound like their actual name??? It's hard!!!

Anyways. Pitch Perfect but they're ponies. You're welcome.

PITCH PERFECT 2012

But if you think this is just some high school club where you can sing and dance your way through any social issue, or confused sexuality, you have come to the wrong place. There is none of that here. That's high school. This shit is real life.

Am I the only person in the universe who remembers that the cup game existed before pitch perfect?

[hepbaestus]

I'm reverting back to a time where I solely listened to the Glee cover of Glad You Came, the Pitch Perfect cover of Since You've Been Gone and other musicals.

This is not a good thing.

This is never a good thing with me.

"Spot opened up, and it's yours if you want it. Just one condition. Promise me you won't get all weird. We're just a group of guys singing a bunch of covers of songs, okay? If you get weird, they will definitely not let you stay."

In 2012 every highschool be like:

Teacher: “Okay clas—”

Literally every single student banging cups together: “I got my ticket for the long way ‘round”
