In the era of Glee and with the resurgence of boy bands, Pitch Perfect hits all the right notes. What originally drew me to this movie's concept was my love of the TV show Glee, but what kept me was basically seeing stuff like this:
Hilarious right? You know how a lot of movie trailers give away the best parts? Well Pitch Perfect (in theaters 9/28 everywhere 10/5) definitely saved a lot for the movie.
I love the casting in this movie, you have a whole gaggle of hilarious women (including the scene stealing Rebel Wilson and the girl with the bangs-you will know her when you see her-I think she stole the whole movie!) and few great guys as well (HIMYM fans watch for the Ted Mosby lookalike!) Basically this movie was beyond hilarious and the singing was pitch perfect (hehe.)
In support of the movie I've curated a Pitch Perfect inspired playlist!
1. Brokenhearted-Karmin Whenever I hear this song I just can't sit still, love it! 2. Call Me Maybe-Carly Rae Jepsen I know, I know you are probably sick of this one but I am not! 3. Starships-Nicki Minaj Who doesn't need a little Nicki Minaj in their life. 4. Hang It Up-The Ting Tings This is a great one for when you are stuck in traffic. 5.Young Folks-Peter Bjorn and John Who doesn't wish they had thought of this song. 6. Don't You Want Me (Glee Cast Version) I love the energy in this song it makes me want to jump up and down for the entire song 7. Lloyd, I'm Ready to be Heartbroken-Camera Obscura Love the story behind this song and of course it's fun to sing along to! 8. Shake It Out-Florence + The Machine Florence can do no wrong in my mind. 9. Sweet Disposition-The Temper Trap This one just gives me chills! 10. I Follow Rivers-Lykke Li I play this one at work so often I make people groan 11. Young Blood-The Naked and Famous I just love the opening notes of this song. 12. My Love-The Bird and the Bee So sweet. 13. Don't You (Forget About Me)-Simple Minds Even before I saw the movie I knew this one had to be on my list and well hell, after seeing the movie it would just be wrong without it. One of my favorites.

What did you think of my playlist? What would you add?
Speaking of music, the Pitch Perfect soundtrack is amazing. Duh, since it's a movie about music it damn well better be amazing! I'm excited to see one of my favorite performances is on the soundtrack:
I'd definitely recommend this movie. You know it's good when you can't stop laughing and walk away with more than a handful of quotes. "By the way...do you want to see a dead body?" I'm definitely going to snap this one right up for my DVD collection when it's out!

As a marketing geek I'm impressed with Pitch Perfect. They've got the timing right, they've got the balance right and they've got the audience pegged.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteLove Glee and I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed this movie and that the trailer doesn't give away all the funny bits. It's a worry I had, but I was still going to see the movie anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt was great!
Deleteahhhhhhhhhhh. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this movie! I want to see it again when it comes out. It was exactly what I hoped it would be. Rebel Wilson and Elizabeth Banks stole the show, for me, and I loved the singing and collaborations. LOVE the male lead and his adoration for all things 80s!
ReplyDeleteYAY! And OMG I know, I loved that guy he was THE BEST! So cute!
DeleteAwww I so love this movie! So fun and really love to watch! I enjoyed the Pitch Perfect songs and soundtrack as well... Gotta watch it again and again!
