About Pitch Perfect
College student Beca 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.

Our take on Pitch Perfect
Jason Moore's 2012 musical comedy follows Beca, a college freshman who wants no part of any clique but lands squarely inside one when she joins an all-female a cappella group. Surrounded by teammates who range from mean to nice to plain odd, she discovers their only common ground is how well they sing together, and pushes them from safe arrangements toward bolder harmonies on the road to competition. It's a bright, song-stuffed crowd-pleaser about misfits finding their sound. Ideal for viewers who love feel-good musical comedy, sharp banter and mashup performances, less so for anyone allergic to underdog formulas. Easy, upbeat and made for repeat viewing.
