MY REVIEW:
I feel like I should be honest about this upfront. I was an A Capella girl in late High School and in College so I have a hard time being 100% fair in the evaluation.
It was obviously not "Gone with the Wind" but it was not a horrible movie. I think there were some really hilariously awesome parts and when you combine the amount of laughs in the 115 minutes it equally to a movie that provided the bang for the buck!
The plot sets the so-loved Barden Bellas in a predicament.. poor Fat Amy has a nasty wardrobe malfunction causing her private area to be broadcast nation-wide causing the on-campus stock of the Bellas to plummet faster than David Caruso's career {Thank you South Park, I have been waiting for years to use that!} With the loss of their status and being barred from active recruiting, they decide to do the last thing that anyone thought was possible, win the International A Capella Competition that NO AMERICAN group has done before. Yeah, that was pretty obvious, even to me that they would win, but what a journey!
The Beca/Jesse and Fat Amy/Bumper love stories are widely different and amazingly awesome!
So many amazing mash-up songs. So many quotable lines. So many laughs!!
