A better than average American college movie, with some
romcom and some buddy-movie elements. Too-cool girl goes to college (she wants
to move to LA and pursue her career as a DJ/music producer, but
college-professor dad gets free tuition for his kids and won’t let her waste
it), is too cool to join the girls’ a capella singing group but is forced to
give everything a go by the dad, ends up liking it and finding true love with
the slightly nerdy boy from the rival boys’ singing group. Quite a few good
visual and verbal jokes – I especially liked Rebel Wilson as Fat Amy. Also some
barf jokes, and some implausible singing scenes, but overall much more
enjoyable than I expected.
I watched this as it was broadcast on Film4; looking it up I
was mildly pleased to discover that there’s a sequel.
