Critic Reviews

  • Cath Clarke, Time Out

    '30 Rock' and 'New Girl' writer Kay Cannon has created brilliant characters.

  • Laura Beck, Village Voice

    The girls, for the most part, are genuinely funny, weird, real, and, most excitingly, confident.

  • Bruce Diones, New Yorker

    Warblers win the day in this sweet-natured film (based on a swell behind-the-scenes book by Mickey Rapkin) about the life and loves of collegians from competing a-cappella groups.

  • Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com

    Pitch Perfect (2012, USA) is a fusion of Glee, Mean Girls, and everything nice. A highly addicting, genuinely exciting, and perfectly beautiful composition about a university acappella group to discovery, friendship, and success. A perfect 10.

    Glee for college folk. Good music and cast.
