Hardly A Review - Pitch Perfect

In the current trends of modern movies we have experienced a resurgence of first dance based films with films such as Step Up following on from such 80's classics as Flash dance, Footloose and Dirty Dancing. However now we have the rise of musical, in particular films showing vocal prowess. this seemed to first start with films such as High school musical, but i think we can fairly lay the blame/commendation at the foot of Glee and its phenomenal rise to almost cult status, bringing musicality to the masses and making singing and choirs cool.  Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with a visual audio expression of the human condition and journey we call life.

So having made that introduction clear i can round the business to reviewing the actual film i went to see, which was Pitch Perfect. It wasn't a planned excursion to the cinema nor my choice of film, more of a mission of mercy on behalf of my sister so she didn't have to see the film alone after the arrangements with her friends fell through. however it didn't cost me anything as the ticket had already been paid for, not one to look a gift horse in the mouth i agreed to see the film.

Pitch Perfect, whilst a film centered around competitive collegiate acapella choirs also explores the idea of breaking with tradition to strive for success.It also focuses on many of the usual themes found in any coming of age transitional film set within college, i.e. where we watch the protagonist reinvent themselves, changing from the child they were to the adult they want to be. All in all i enjoyed it, the singing was impressive but the story maybe a little too predictable. Easy to watch, easy to forget. Good for those times you want to watch something but don't feel like you want to have to think a lot, you can pop it on and watch with little effort and come out feeling relatively happy and positive. 
Nosh, Signing Out.
