It all started with one of my friends in Google+ and his YouTube sharing of Anna Kendrick’s live performance in the David Letterman show.  I remember Anna in the Twilight Saga.  I had no idea that she can perform a cappella while playing with a cup.  And she looks so socially awkward in front of the public.  Adorable!
Our dear friend TK has watched Skyfall. Â I sort of regretted not attending the blogger event that showcase a full private home theater setup playing Skyfall. Â In any case, Cynthia and I can watch that 007 show with no babes and gadgets later (so I’ve been told). Â We really wanted to watch Pitch Perfect. Â So, the three of us watched that on late Friday.
This movie lasted for 110 minutes.  I couldn’t feel that.  The story ends so soon.  I want more!  I don’t even like GLEE.  But this one is hilarious.  The core set of all-female a cappella group comprises of a team of unique characters.  All bizarre in their own ways.  One called herself Fat Amy who totally embraces her physical appearance.  A girl who looks like a man.  An uptight leader who tends to puke a big way under stress.  A rather voluptuous girl.  A co-leader with a throat problem.  A Japanese girl who whispers all the time, even when she performs.  And finally, the socially awkward Anna Kendrick.
The plot is predictable. Â What makes this movie exception are the lines and the songs. Â I like it that the scriptwriter has given each of the core team member an equal character development opportunity. Â To quote Cynthia, “I really love this show!” Â If you have the chance, check out the soundtrack too. Â It is amazing what artists can do with their mouths making sound, beats, and all. Â I mean, you really have to be pitch perfect in order to pull those stunts.
If you are into Spanish, Cynthia has written a post in her website.
