Pitch Perfect

Aca-tastic, aca-brilliant, aca-fabulous and aca-awesome...

Most holiday season films are bland, boring, bloated, trite, shite, over-cooked, sentimental and long. This year, the trend was bucked with Pitch Perfect, a gem of comedy.

While it follows a standard Hollywood "underdogs come good" story line, Pitch Perfect rocks hard with energy, sass, spunk, lots of bad ass singing and dancing, and the right level of bad taste.

The riff-off scene is one of the best 4-5 minutes of cinema that I've seen in a long time. Indeed, a cappella has never sounded so good (to my ears) - as good as Andy Bernard's efforts in The Office.

In addition, funny as hell Aussie comedian/musician, Rebel Wilson steals every scene she's in. Equally good is Adam DeVine who plays a slimy, creepy, needy character to perfection (very similar in fact, to his Adam role in Workaholics.
