College student Beca (Anna Kendrick) knows she does not want to be part of a clique, but that's exactly where she finds herself after arriving at her new school. Thrust in among mean gals, nice gals and just plain weird gals, Beca finds that the only thing they have in common is how well they sing together. She takes the women of the group out of their comfort zone of traditional arrangements and into a world of amazing harmonic combinations in a fight to the top of college music competitions.

Critics Consensus

Pitch Perfect's plot is formulaic, but the performances are excellent and the musical numbers are toe-tapping as well.

Wendy Ide

Times (UK)

It’s aimed at Glee fans and teenage girls, but the infectious energy will appeal to a wider audience.

Luckily, Pitch Perfect has just enough flaws to (almost) keep us from making terrible puns around its title, but this fun comedy is good enough to leave an a cappella version of "No Diggity" stuck in your head. For a week.

Rated: B+

The sung numbers are pretty dreadful but you can't have everything.

Rated: 3/5

If it looks like the sort of film you’d like, you’ll probably love it. Even if it isn’t the sort of film you would normally watch, it’s good enough that you’ll likely still find much to enjoy.

Rated: 7/10
