Pitch Perfect **½

Jason Moore directed this Comedy. Watch Preview. Cast:  Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Rebel Wilson, Alexis Knapp, Adam DeVine, Freddie Stroma, Elizabeth Banks. Rated PG-13 for sexual material, language and drug references. Running time is one hour and fifty-two minutes.

A freshman college girl (Kendrick) is muscled into a group she never would have picked on her own: girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together a capella.

I don't see any awards in this film's future but if offers an enjoyable couple of hours if you decide to see it now. It offers a very predictable plot, complete with current sexual sensibilities,  but I found the music so enjoyable it's negatives were unimportant. I have to tell you, I don't enjoy contemporary, popular music, so the fact I enjoyed these selections tells you it was the performances I found so attractive, rather than the music itself. The story is about college a capella group competitions, which I had no idea existed (if in fact they do). The cast is very good and production values are fine. Kendrick is very appealing and it was nice to see Snow (Harry's Law) again. Wilson is as outrageous as you expect her to be. I watched with some much younger patrons and they enjoyed it also, which means it should have universal age appeal, although I suspect we were enjoying different elements.

There are no additional scenes once the final credits begin. A large screen isn't overly important but good sound definitely is. Theatres/Times.
