Storyline

The Barden Bellas are a collegiate, all-girls a cappella singing group thriving on female pop songs and their perfect looks. After a disastrous failing at last year's finals, they are forced to regroup. Among the new recruits is freshman Beca, an independent, aspiring DJ with no interest in the college life. But after she meets Jesse, from the rival all-male a cappella group, Beca has a new outlook and takes it upon herself to help the Bellas find their new look and sound and get back into the competition.

User Reviews

Unexpectedly fun and entertaining

Well, I didn't plan to watch this movie, just trying to kill the time. start to watch, there is something different and i just knew that i am gonna like this movie. well, i was wrong actually, i don't like this movie, but i love it. it is extremely fun, hilarious, entertaining. Love to see Anna Kendrick, i love her in this movie. but who watch this movie would be agreed with me that the scene stealer is Fat Amy. she is aca-awesome. "at least it's not herpes! or do you have that as well?" i love that line... very funny... also "before or after 2" always laughing to see that scene... would be great if they make more mash-up song... and show how talented Becca is...
