Pitch Perfect, rated PG-13 and running 112 minutes, opened up in all theaters nationwide this past week. The movie about a modern-day music-loving girl (played by Anna Kendrick) joining a traditional female a-capella group at college took the teenage society by storm. Co-starring Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Rebel Wilson, Alexis Knapp, Adam DeVine, and Freddie Stroma, and directed by Jason Moore, this musical comedy/drama has become a big hit in today’s society.

Evidently, this movie is directed mainly at the music-loving teenagers of our time. With modern music and song artists played throughout the movie, we as teens can fall in love with this movie. At the same time, I could not understand how this movie was able to get by with a PG-13 rating. Some scenes (which I will not explain due to graphic content) are considerably not meant for a younger audience. Some parents may bring their children to this movie, and these scenes are definitely not meant for young eyes.

However, as I have been involved with music for considerably my entire life, I do love this movie. Even though there are some parts where I question the rating, I can still look past and see the side of the story aimed at music-lovers of our time. I can connect to the music played, both contemporary and modern, and see how many people can definitely love this movie.

A small sub-plot of this movie is the star-crossed lovers story. The female a capella group’s main rival group just happens to be the male version, and they are both at the same college. One of the main singers in that group takes a liking to our main character, but the rivalry between their groups makes it hard for them to be together.

Overall, this movie is a great chance to fall in love with music all over again. It also gives a small insight to college life and the happenings on campus. It is a great story for teenagers to enjoy again and again.
