Bumper (Adam DeVine), the leader of the Treble Makers, throws food all over Amy from a passing car. She thinks she’s been shot. After Aubrey vomits on the floor, a fight breaks out among the girls. Beca quickly learns that Aubrey, the leader of the Barden Bellas, always gets what she wants. Aubrey insists on sticking with the dull routine of perfectly matched uniforms and pop songs. Beca also meets Jesse (Skylar Astin), one of the Treble Makers. The Barden Bellas aren’t allowed to have relationships with the Treble Makers. Beca sets out to turn the Barden Bellas around and lead them to a winning performance. Beca (Anna Kendrick) is a freshman at Barden University, but she would rather be working as a DJ than studying. She’s at university because her father, Dr Mitchell (John Benjamin Hickey), insists that she gives it a go. He also persuades her to join in college life although she’s very reluctant. She joins the Barden Bellas, a female a cappella group who performed disastrously at the previous year’s finals. Beca also discovers the Treble Makers, a male a cappella group and the Barden Bellas’ fierce rivals.

Ideas to discuss with your children

Pitch Perfect is a light-hearted musical comedy with quite a few laughs and plenty of good music and dancing. It will appeal to the teenage and young adult market. Its violence, sexual references and language make it unsuitable for children under 13 years, however. It also lacks interest for younger viewers. The main messages from this movie are that you need to open up to people to find love and acceptance and to follow your passions. Values in this movie that you could reinforce with your children include teamwork, cooperation, generosity and selflessness.

This movie could also give you the chance to talk with your children about real-life issues such as what you can do when people make fun of you. For example, Amy confronts this situation by laughing at herself. Could this be a good way to stand up to bullies?
