Pitch Perfect

Hey Guys,

Today we're going to tell you about Pitch Perfect. It's definitely one of our favourite films, we saw it in the cinema and became obsessed with the 'Riff-Off' song and as soon as the DVD came out we had to buy it.

'The Bellas, an all-girl singing group thriving on female pop songs and their perfect looks, are forced to regroup after an epic fail at last year's final. Among the new recruits is freshman Beca (Anna Kendrick - Twilight) an independent, aspiring DJ with no interest in the college life. But after getting to know the group of oddballs and misfits, including Amy (Rebel Wilson - Bridesmaids), Beca has a new outlook and takes it upon herself to help the Bellas find their new look and sound get back into the competition.'



Obviously this film is all about music and we love every single song, but our favourite scene is the Riff-Off. The songs in the Riff Off are;

  • "Mickey" - Tony Basil
  • "Like A Virgin" - Madonna
  • "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" - Pat Benatar
  • "It Must Have Been Love" - Roxette
  • "S&M" - Rihanna
  • "Let's Talk About Sex" - Salt 'N Pepa
  • "I'll Make Love To You" - Boyz II Men
  • "Feels Like The First Time" - Daoud Heidami
  • "No Diggity" - Blackstreet

Our favourite character is Fat Amy, who later on in the film admits that her name is actually Fat Patricia. Fat Amy is defiantly the funniest character in film; when you first meet Fat Amy you instantly love her personality, here's a video which shows Fat Amy's best moments.

One of Daisy's favourite scenes is when Beca and her friend Jesse (who ends up being Beca's boyfriend) are stacking CDs in a radio station; this is when you can tell that Beca and Jesse are starting to feel an attraction for one another. In Daisy's words, "It's so cute".



Beca's DJ talent comes in hand when Aubrey, one of the original Bellas who at first despised Beca's modern way of doing things, asks her to 'remix' the group. Aubrey takes the lead and together the Bellas come up with a remix of 'Just The Way You Are' - Bruno Mars and 'Just a Dream' - Nelly. It is a beautiful moment as the tension between the members in the group disappears and you see them come together.

But the Bellas aren't the only acapella group on the campus of Barden University, meet the Treblemakers. Lead by self-obsessed Bumper, the Treblemakers are at the top of their game and the Bellas main rivals. You have got to love the treblemakers, as Benji( Jesse's roommate) says "that is what being a man is all about."


One of Holly's favourite lines in the film is this...


Beca and Jesse are such a cute couple and although other people have been critical about the 'predictable' ending to this film, we loved it. Their characters have such good chemistry and we were so glad when they finally got together after Beca incorporated into The Bellas Finals Entry a song from The Breakfast Club, Jesse's Favourite Film.


There are so many great scenes, lines and characters in this film that we can't share all of them with you. Just know that this film is great and if you get a chance to see it we would really really recommend that you watch it.

Love Holly and Daisy x
