Pitch Perfect (2012) - Film directed by Jason Moore

* * 

After the Glee craze it was only a matter of time before glee club inspired films would start cropping up. The problem with Glee and with this film is that often the comedy is based off of bizarre characters and the audience often ends up laughing at them.The film follows a generic bored-by-the-world character who is coerced into joining a dysfunctional glee club and 'hilarity' ensues. 

One of the most important things about anything with music is the music and unfortunately only some of the songs are good. They had an odd mixture of music of the moment songs, which were the type of songs that will be forgotten in a few years so it makes the film seem forgettable too, and classic songs which are not very popular even now. Surprisingly the stand-out song is The Cup Song which was the original one.

The humour was limited despite the cast which was actually very promising. They went for very easy laughs, even Rebel Wilson which was disappointing. The cast of kooky characters with one normal person is such an overdone method of creating comedy that it wasn't interesting. It's annoying that a lot of people are promoting these heavily female dominated films as being just like male dominated comedies when they could actually  be cleverer and funnier by being different. 

An disappointing film, especially after it being promoted so highly by people on tumblr. It was too cliqued and over the top and seemed to have very little effort put into it.
