On the same vacation that I watched Shag, I also saw Pitch Perfect
Well, wrong I went.
Pitch Perfect just didn’t click with me. I don’t know if it had been talked up too much, but I didn’t enjoy the movie. There were definitely high spots in the movie, but for the most part the movie just didn’t work for me.
I found Anna Kendrick’s character, Beca, to be a sullen, spoiled brat. She was the focal point of the movie, but I just couldn’t get behind her. Some of her lines were just laughable. “You know David Guetta is?” Beca, my dad’s cousins know who David Guetta is; come on!
In case you didn’t get that Beca would rather be a DJ than be in school, she walks around campus all day wearing big ass headphones.
Would you like a hammer to drive in that nail?
Jesse, you just won our Most Annoying Character of the Year award! How do you feel?
The best thing to come out of Pitch Perfect was having Titanium stuck in my head for the rest of the week. That, and that insanely catchy Cups song and super-cute video. I definitely enjoy Cups the video more than Pitch Perfect the movie.
Pitch Perfect does have its high points. Pretty much any scene involving Lily made me laugh very loudly.
Lily is the best..
It’s funny, I went into Shag ready to roll my eyes and went into Pitch Perfect ready to love it. But out of the two of them, I think I’d rather watch Shag again. But maybe I just need to give Pitch Perfect a second chance. It wouldn’t be the first movie I disliked the first time I saw and then loved after more viewings.
All that said, Anna Kendrick is still America’s sweetheart.
Watch it again. Turn off your brain and just enjoy
My friend V put me onto this hidden gem. Let me start by saying this is like Glee, Legally Blonde, and Bring it on all wrapped into one movie. If you liked any of these then you will like this one. The music is straight fire, a bunch of smokes, and it’s kinda funny. If you are one of these tough guys who think they are too cool to watch chick flicks you can go ahead and just get out of my face because this movie is the Cal Me Maybe of movies. If you can’t admit that you like it then you are a douche. HBO on demand, do it! Now Anna Kendrick showed up on my radar four years ago after I saw the Air Up There and thought she was hotter than Clooney, which is tough to do when you when you share the screen with the number one guy on my gay list. Now let me explain the gay list a little….there is no way I can be on the beach and see a guys hairy ass and say I want to hit that, but I’m comfortable enough in my manhood to say that Clooney, and Brad Pitt are some good looking dudes. Now back to this movie – Anna Kendrick has that girl next door smoke appeal to her. She comes off cool as hell, she tweets out about masturbating in the movie theater (“Ugh – NEVER going to a Ryan Gosling movie in a theater again. Apparently masturbating in the back row is still considered inappropriate”), can do that cool thing with the cups, and seems normal as can be. As you can see I’m a fan lol. There are four major smokes and one dime piece in the movie and that makes a cheesy corny film like this a lot easier to watch. This is just a fun entertaining movie. Not a deep thinker and an extremely predictable ending. The dialogue is clever keeping with college life, and the story never drags. So sit back and enjoy.
