Yes, you've read correctly, I have seen it 5 times so far. It's the type of movie that just grabbed me and never let go. It's comedic genius I tell you...GENIUS. Plus incredible singing and dancing. And Rebel Wilson. And Elizabeth Banks. And Anna Kendrick. What movie can go wrong with that combination? None I tell you.

Elizabeth Banks is (to me) the most underrated actor out there. I know and understand she's in almost every movie out right now but I still think her unbelievable talent hasn't truly hit the scope of humanity. She is just perfect in every role she plays, whether it be a porn actor, an acapella judge or a recovering alcoholic. Her brilliance astounds me. Her comedic timing is spot on.

Anna Kendrick surpassed my expectations...who knew she was nominated for a Tony! I sure didn't. But now I do and I know why. She portrays the lead girl in this film, Beca, who doesn't seem the type to join an acapella group. But her voice is beautiful...and the scene where she auditions for the Barden Bellas, using her voice and a cup to perform Cups is a definite wow factor. And afterwards I even learned how to do Cups! So much fun, you should all learn! :) There's no lie in saying she's one of my new favorite actors. No diggity No doubt!

The movie stealer...Rebel Wilson as Fat Amy. I can't even describe to you all how hilarious she is in this film. I mean, she is funny in everything she does (seriously, watch all of her interviews she's ever done.) But this is classic. I'm going to leave it at that and you can go see for yourself.

Pitch Perfect has soared to becoming one of my favorite films, and has even surpassed Bridesmaids as my favorite comedy. (but only by a little bit...still love Bridesmaids!)

I give this TEN out of TEN stars. GO SEE IT!
