Smartly, that’s also how the movie approaches the phenomenon. It’s not a law or anything, but I think it’s safe to say that manliness and acapella aren’t exactly homies–something that likely has to do with the fact that acapella generally requires the expressions of #emotions and #feelings, two things dudes aren’t always the biggest fans of. It Looks At Acapella From An Outcast’s Perspective Probably the perfect move to get dudes on the movie’s side straight away. Workaholics is going stronger than ever, the manchild recently launched his own Comedy Central show, and it appears that he may be making the plunge into higher profile roles ( he was reportedly considered to star in a big-time John Belushi biopic, a role that ultimately went to Emile Hirsch).ĭeVine is his usual outrageous self in Pitch Perfect, something we’re treated to straight from the get-go. In the world of dude comedy, there’s arguably nobody hotter than Adam Devine right now. Below are the gems that didn’t make it into the movie: The banter between acapella commentators Elizabeth Banks (a former acapella superstar) and John Michael Hastings is truly top notch, as they comment on everything from the absurdity of the genre to the male commentator’s misogyny. Pitch Perfect takes this idea, and arguably makes it even funnier. t hat’s a bold move, Cotton is a thing people now say a lot. One of the more classic movies for the contemporary Bro is Dodgeball–the 2004 film that centered around two feuding gyms, and an underdog Dodgeball squad led by Vince “but am I really an underachiever?” Vaughn.Īmong other things Dodgeball, the exchanges between broadcast personalities Pepper Brooks and Cotton McKnight seem to have become immortalized in pop-culture lore. Here are a few reasons why: Pitch Perfect 1. It was one of more entertaining movies I’ve seen in awhile, and it’s a movie that, perhaps surprisingly, is just as much for guys as it is for girls. You go in a bit reluctant, but then end up hating yourself for even having questioned the greatness. Also, this is now apparently grounds for watching a movie.įor me, Pitch Perfect ended up being captivating in the way stubbornly going to ice skating lessons as a five year-old is captivating. We ended up going with Pitch Perfect. Neither of us had seen it, but given its place in internet folklore (one step below GIF heavyweights Mean Girls and Bridesmaids), we figured it was something “important” to watch. Friday night, my girlfriend and I were doing what many past-their prime former collegiate alcoholics do nowadays–staying in after a long week of performing tasks for money, thrilled with the fact that the next morning was going to be a temporary hiatus from 6:43 am alarms, rushed showers and crowded commutes. Since we couldn’t just spend the whole night sitting there on the couch (while awesome, you apparently can’t do this and still be a happy human being), we opted to delve into the digital libraries for a movie.
