Pitch Perfect
Pitch Perfect is a 2012 American musical comedy film directed by Jason Moore and written by Kay Cannon. It features an ensemble cast, including Anna Kendrick, Skylar Astin, Rebel Wilson, Adam DeVine, Anna Camp, Brittany Snow, Hana Mae Lee, Alexis Knapp, Ester Dean, Kelley Jakle, Shelley Regner, Wanetah Walmsley, Ben Platt, Utkarsh Ambudkar, John Michael Higgins, and Elizabeth Banks. The film's plot follows an all-girl a cappella group who compete against another group from their own college to win the Nationals. The film is loosely adapted from Cornell University alum Mickey Rapkin's non-fiction book, titled Pitch Perfect: The Quest for Collegiate a Cappella Glory and director Moore's own experiences at his alma mater, Northwestern University. Filming concluded in December 2011, in Rogers, Arkansas. The film premiered in Los Angeles on September 24, 2012 and was released on October 5, 2012 in the United States. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and became a sleeper hit, earning $115.4 million worldwide. It is the first film in the trilogy and was followed by two sequels, Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) and Pitch Perfect 3 (2017).
Now, this is exactly the type of performance you would expect to see at the international Championship of Collegiate A Cappella. Am I right, Gail? John, you're so right, everything else seems wrong. Boy, these Barden University Treblemakers always thrill the judges. And the ladies in the room cannot get enough. So true, John. Nothing makes a woman feel more like a girl than a man who sings like a boy.

Chloe, look at you. You're a mess. You're unfocused. You're unreliable. And your breath smells like egg. Like, all the time. I can't believe the Bellas are being passed on to you two slut bags after we graduate. Just don't eff up your solo. I won't disappoint you. My dad always says, "if you're not here to win," "get the hell out of Kuwait."

Up now, the Barden Bellas! Well, the Bellas tonight are making history as the first ever all-female group to advance to the ICCA finals. That's right, John. Now, why do you think it's taken so long for an all-lady group to break through that a cappella glass ceiling? Well, Gail, the women, typically, cannot hit the low notes, which really round out an arrangement, thrill the judges, and that can really hurt them in competition. Women are about as good at a cappella as they are at being doctors.

This is a surprise! This has never happened! Now, this is how you bring some excitement to the international Championship of Collegiate A Cappella. She had a week's worth of lunch and lost it. Well, she didn't lose it. We know exactly where it is. It's all over the third row. No, no...
