Quick Review: Pitch Perfect (2012)

It's 2:36am and i've just finished watching the movie entitled "Pitch Perfect" (in HD, which i downloaded for less than just 2hours! i f*ckin love my internet connection!). I thought i should write a very short review about it, heck, i guess it's not a bad idea to start posting movie reviews here from now on. :)

Without further adieu, here we go:


What I liked about it:

* ASTIG acappella performances. And I mean ASTIG.
* I laughed (okay, just giggled) on some of the supposedly funny scenes. That one with the asian girl doin' a snow angel on vomit (let's call it "vomit angel" then) was pretty hilarious.
* The main character. She's cute. She also played Scott's sister in Scott Pilgrim vs The World.

What I hated about it:

* Characters are one - dimensional.
* Plot seemed too... incoherent. It's as if the whole movie was some multi - episode TV Series mindlessly combined into one.
* There were so many "..wait, what?" moments. I literally had this expression: "o_O" after watching some of the scenes.
* The main character. Yeah, she's cute alright, but most of the time she had a very generic facial expression even if she was supposedly happy or sad or angry.

Summary: The very cool acappella performances compensated for the movie's lack of plot / sense. It's as if the producers said "hey, let's do an acappella - centric movie and build a quick story around it" which sucked. But anyway, the more "established" critics out there gave this film positive reviews, so go watch it anyway. :)


7.5/10
