Rebel Wilson is Taking Over America

Movie Review: "Pitch Perfect"

A love story being played by two Broadway stars that encompasses what it's like to be a lonely freshmen who just loves to sing a Capella versions of top 40 songs? COUNT ME IN.
         Aside from Anna Kendrick finally getting the recognition she deserves, it's obvious who audiences love most in this slew of awkward misfit singers- Fat Amy. With her brilliant one-liners made almost endearingly offbeat by her Australian accent, Rebel Wilson gives us what we've been wanting since we saw her in  Bridesmaids. The musical mash-ups are deliciously addictive, made all the more drug-like every time Skylar Astin fills the shot. Though the writers sometimes reach too earnestly for the laughs, we eventually give in and giggle. But don't worry Anna Kendrick- we won't be forgetting about you anytime soon.

Rating: 7.5/10
