Pitch Perfect (2012) - Review

You know those movies that seem like they're designed solely to grate on your nerves?  This is one of those movies for me.  Following in the wake of the incredibly successful Glee, Pitch Perfect attempts to songify college in the same way that Glee songifies high school.

Okay, Glee sucks.  There, I said it.  Not a controversial opinion by this point, but it still needs to be said.  So how do you think this fares?  Hint: not too well.  This movie is obnoxious through and through.

Good night, everyone!

Really?  You need more?

Anna Kendrick, you get out of that pile of talentlessness!

Fine... the film follows the always adorable Anna Kendrick and her college life, completely with snarky comments and singalongs from the college a cappella group.  Along the way there's a fairly likable male love interest (not likable enough to look up his name though, apparently) and everyone else ratchets it up to 11 and tries to be as annoying as possible.

The songs are bad pop covers, completely overproduced and devoid of life.  The only plus is Anna Kendrick's "When I'm Gone", an endearing and minimalist pop tune mixed in with all the awful.

The large girl (not looking up her name either; the sooner I forget her, the better) is the worst actress in the world and I hate her.  And I hate this movie.  Go away Pitch Perfect.
