Pitch Perfect

Jason Moore's Pitch Perfect (US, 2012) - A well-groomed, funny and altogether special musical comedy set against the backdrop of collegiate competitive a cappella singing, Pitch Perfect hits an abundance of right notes, resulting in one of the most full-bodied mainstream comedies of the year. Suffused with a joie de vivre, this enjoyable adaptation of Mickey Rapkin’s 2008 nonfiction book of the same name augurs good things not only for freshman feature director Jason Moore but also its various young cast members. RATING: 7.
