Pitch Perfect - Hit it out of the Park

Pitch Perfect is a hysterical, hybrid of Glee & Bridesmaids.  The movie was laugh out loud funny.  It worked as a comedy, musical & love story.  I loved it as much as I would love to see C.C. pitch a no hitter in the playoffs.  Yeah, that great!  Anna Kendrik, (acad. award nominee for Up in the Air) plays the lead as a rebel, college freshman & joins an all girl's a capella group in a bargain with her father.  Kendrik deserves another acad. nomination for her role which keeps this movie from becoming cliche to hilarious and entertaining.  Kendrik is joined in her group by Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids) who is so funny, I can't wait to see her next movie.  Elizabeth Banks (Hunger Games) in a minor role does what she always does - she steals every scene she's in; no part is too small.  Will someone please cast her in a leading role already.  The plot revolves around a college a cappella competition (held @ Lincoln Center.)  This is not just a chick flick or a blown-up Glee episode.  This is a practically perfect movie for everyone.  For an a cappella competition, the movie accompanied the singers with music & the actors all look too old to be college students, but those are my only picayune complaints in a perfectly winning film.  Pitch Perfect hits every note right & right out of the park!  Go see this movie & GO YANKEES!
