Pitch Perfect-Teen Movie Review

Beca(Anna Kendrick) is a freshman at Barden University; she doesn’t love college, she doesn’t try to fit in, but what she does want to do…is move to Los Angeles!!! However, things change when she’s persuaded to join The Bellas, an all-girls a cappella group. Now Beca takes this traditional, somewhat boring singing group, and adds a contemporary flare, which sets them apart from their rivals. Pitch Perfect is a comedy musical; it’s a fun entertaining movie!!!

Talking Points:

The a cappella group is filled with a bunch of misfit girls. It was nice to see the girls accept one another and learn how to work together. Great parent/child conversation.

The movie is predictable and sappy, though cute and entertaining.

The music and talent of the young men and women in the film was amazing. They had wonderful voices!!!

Sexual Content: Moderate

• There are some suggestive dance moves as one girl touches her privates while dancing.
• In a singing contest, one group is asked to sing songs about sex.
• Initially Beca was asked to join the group while she was in the shower, the other girl was in the shower too. We only saw their shoulders and backs.
• Three girls were kicked out of the group for sleeping with their rival boys group.
• There were sexual references made throughout the film.

Violent Content: Mild

• After a competition, The Bella’s got into a fight with another singing group. One character is hit in the face and crotch.
  

Crude or Profane Language: Moderate

• The s-word is said about 6 times, we also hear other words such as; “a–,” “b–ch,” “d–n” and “h–l,” are said.

Drugs and Alcohol Content: Mild

• We see college students drinking at a party, it’s obvious that some are drunk.
  

Will Kids Like It? Yes

• Fans of Glee and other movies of this genre, will enjoy this film.

Overall this is an entertaining film. Parents need to be aware of the moderate sexual content. Depending on the kid, I recommend this film for girls ages 12 and up.
