“Pitch Perfect”

I think I’m supposed to like this movie? It feels like they were trying really hard to make me like this but I spent most of the running time being only very gently amused and tutting whenever Rebel Wilson was onscreen. Maybe I’m from the wrong culture or social class but I just didn’t get it. Bit of a shame as it’s a good idea - 3 out of 10.

I have not seen this - or know much about it - yet somehow… I can’t get the thought out of my head that this is a Hollywood version of ‘Brassed Off’. Y’know… some studio exec thought ‘that did well with the critics and made money’ - let’s do ‘our’ version of it - and then changed somewhat in the process along the way…

(damn the aging cynic in me - it has been 22 years afterall 😉)

Sod it - I’m off to watch Brassed Off - it has Pete Postlethwaite in it, whereas Pitch Perfect does not…
