More entertaining than anticipated.
I enjoyed myself watching 'Pitch Perfect', simply put. That's largely thanks to pleasant music choices and a fun cast. The plot isn't anything crazy good but the aforementioned things are done nicely.
Anna Kendrick (Beca) is enjoyable as the lead, she is supported by Skylar Astin (Jesse) who I did find a little bit hit-and-miss to be honest. Rebel Wilson (Fat Amy) and Brittany Snow (Chloe) are the only ones of the rest that stood out to me, though all of the The Barden Bellas are solid in actual fact. Elsewhere, Adam DeVine (Bumper) is amusing.
Don't get me wrong there a few moments that are cringe and some jokes do not land, but for the vast majority it's a fun watch - in my opinion, anyway. Onto the sequels!

Truly a cultural staple in queer jukebox comedy cinema. Gratuitously cringe like only a cast of millenials in the early 2010s could endure making a film. It's a movie of its time, for better and for worse.
Hate to love her and love to hate her, Beca Mitchell, you will always be that girl.
Every man but Luke was hysterical in its clinical sense. People love Jesse, I genuinely could not be less endeared to him and the romantic storyline felt incredibly forced (<-- Bechloe supremacist). Dr Mitchell reminds me too much of the dad from American Dreams (whom I cannot stand). The true emotional, moving arc is always the Bellas' journey.
My Barden Bellas, you made history.
