Pitch Perfect [DVD] [2012]

Truly iconic film, a true masterpiece and must watch. In my Top 10 Best Films of October 2012.

I remember hearing the buzz about "Pitch Perfect" right about the time the movie hit Redbox on Blu-ray - better late than never - so I thought, what the heck, I'll rent it and see what this a capella musical was about. I was pleasantly surprised, overwhelmingly so, at how much fun and aurally awesome the musical numbers were! I kept it for an extra day and winded up watching it a total of 3 times. The musical performances, the jokes, the competitions, and most importantly the inseparable bond formed by the a capella singers despite their differences made this an all-around good movie. Naturally I added it to my collection. When the 4K came out, I was skeptical: the film was digitally photographed and reportedly finished at 2K - seriously Hollywood, why make the new standard 4K when you're filming and finishing films in anything less than 4K?!?!?! So why would I double-dip and upgrade this movie that has little to no special visual effects? The answer is quite simple: the audio! Don't get me wrong. The standard Blu-ray sounds great with its DTS-HD 5.1 track, but man, oh man, the DTS:X Master Audio soundtrack hits all the right notes on the 4K disc. Once you hear how good it sounds, you can't un-hear it, and that'll become your new standard. As flashy as this film is, the real flash is exhibited in the musical talents of the actresses and actors that live up to the pitch perfect musical performance expectation set by the title of the film. So cough up the extra couple of bucks. Your ears will thank you.

Yes, I'm a guy. I wasn't very enthusiastic about seeing this (there were other movies much higher on my 'to watch' list, but it was great! Not just another chick flick. Especially if you're completely sick of glee-type music everywhere. This was dealing with a capella groups (even the instrumentation was done by vocals only). A fairly funny movie with good acting from leads & rest of the ensemble cast. This video (both BD and DVD have one of the best extras I've ever seen on a disc: a music video stitched together with home videos (a la youtube) that people from all over sent in to the filmmakers who then edited together the submissions along with parts sung by the cast to make a completed song. Great! Also, if you look close during the pool scene, one of the categories on the wheel is 'songs glee hasn't ruined yet' or something like that. Hilarious! Didn't give much of a synopsis here, but there's plenty of those on the internet (amazon, imdb.com)—I just wanted to hit the couple things that have made me like this movie more and more each time I watch it+

my DVD went missing After my recent move I love this movie so much that I had to get it. I re-purchased it and I'm very happy when I watched it ~ loved it

Okay I really adore this film because aside from the wonderful music performances, its actually really funny and has a very nice story line and great cast. I was not sure I'd like it for more than the music when I saw the original commercials for it but it turned out to be great. I give it four stars for being a solid film thats enjoyable from start to finish, well written and fun with a great cast. I have recommended this film to others and they too loved it. Also the multi formats in this combo is excellent. I have the movie added to my vudu account now and dont have to carry the movies around from room to room. I usually just open vudu on my roku, bluray player or laptop and fire it up. I hope all movies include digital copies from now on because I'm hooked on it now. lol

This bluray copy was actually the SECOND copy I purchased of this movie. I originally bought the regular DVD version of it at target around the time it originally came out. Everybody said the movie was good. Mind you, I didn't watch it in the theaters so I just bought it on the whim. I watched it &ended up LOVING it. It was so funny, great song choices and has a solid story. Pitch Perfect 2 is coming out soon too! The reason why I bought a second copy is because I let a friend borrow the movie and she never returned it. This movie is THAT good.

This is by far the best movie of the three in the series. It is funny and has a good cast of characters. The DTS X sound on this is one of the best I've heard outside of high action movies.

Pitch Perfect is one of those guilty pleasures that you won't mind having. It's great fun following the Barton Bellas a capella singing group as they journey from miserable to marvelous. Anna Kendrick does a great job as Becca, who enters the a capella world reluctantly but emerges as a transformative fount of musical creativity. Rebel Wilson provides some great humor thanks to her "pitch perfect" delivery. The writing is sharp and the music fun in this delightful film.
