Pitch Perfect

Part of Loft Staff Selects, a monthly series showcasing film favorites chosen by our amazing Loft Cinema staff! This month’s film was chosen by Anna McNaughton!

Get ready to get pitch-slapped at the aca-awesome musical comedy, Pitch Perfect! Becca (Anna Kendrick) has just started college at Barden University and isn’t exactly a social butterfly – by choice. Too bad the school’s all-female a cappella group, The Bellas, is aggressively recruiting new talent in their bid to win the national collegiate a cappella title, because the next thing she knows, Becca is part of the group, along with Chloe (Brittany Snow), Aubrey (Anna Camp), Patricia “Fat Amy” Hobart (Rebel Wilson) and a motley crew of other new recruits.  Now Beca must lead this gang of acoustic singing misfits as they find themselves trying to survive the ultra-competitive world of college a cappella by battling it out with their male rivals, The Treblemakers, getting to nationals, and maybe even taking home the gold by stepping out of their comfort zones and shaking things up with their aca-amazing lady jams! Also starring Elizabeth Banks, Adam Devine and Ben Platt.  (Dir. by Jason Moore, 2012, USA, 112 mins., Rated PG-13)
