PITCH PERFECT [2012]

Director Jason Moore makes his feature film debut with the surprisingly funny and sharp-witted Pitch Perfect.
Walking into it I was expecting a silly teen comedy with unlikable characters dwelling in eye-rolling melodrama while riding on the coattails of Glee but I was surprised to find a character-driven comedy filled with some really neat vocal work.  It's comedic timing is spot on with a blend of crude humour and biting dialogue.  A charming, funny film that turned out to be a lot better than I thought it would be.

Saw it expecting also a glee clone that was a few years late. Was pleasantly surprised. Dl'ed the soundtrack. Rebel Wilson is becoming quite a scene stealer in any movie she's in.

Rebel is great.

Been watching quite a few late night talk show interviews on the youtubes with her over the past week, which got me interested enough to watch the film.

funny. That's how I heard about it as well. She made a joke about how she only got the part because she sort of looks like Adele. :laugh:
