Hugest rec ever!

Pitch Perfect. Seriously.

I haven't seen Bridesmaids yet, but I've been recced it so highly; I keep meaning to check it out because it's been recced by people I trust. All the reasons that people are reccing that? They're the reasons I'm reccing this. (Great friendships between women, the romance is not sappy and not front and center, speaking of front and center, a collection of truly wonderful supporting lady characters, and then, THERE'S MUSIC. AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING MUSIC.)

I bought it in my hotel room last night (I get a free movie as a perk, no worries), and not only did I watch it all the way through gleefully, I immediately recced it to [personal profile] meghanc, rewound it to the beginning and watched it again with her.

So amazing. I was up until 5am last night (writing pinch hits, too, not just the movie, though that made it awesome) and I don't mind at all. SO. GOOD.

My local library doesn't have Pitch Perfect for me to check out. I resent this quite a bit. I've also heard good things about Bachelorette, but the library doesn't have that either. ETA: I may be forced to see if Redbox has it, and I've never used them before.

Bridesmaids is absolutely amazing, and I was so leery of it at first. But it's absolutely hilarious. I want all the Annie/Helen. All of it.

Ah, I was going to ask you how the movie was! I guess now I should look it up. :)

I just watched Pitch Perfect over the weekend and had pretty much the exact same flaily reaction. It found my id and then wrapped it in a big bear hug and now I want all of the long and ploty fic that doesn't exist.

I have not seen Pitch Perfect, but can I give a huge anti-rec to Bridesmaids? Wall-to-wall humiliation humor and not a single character who acts like a goddamn grownup; it was one of the most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.

Do you think my 12-year-old would like Pitch Perfect? We're relaxed about her in regards to cursing, some violence, or seeing reasonably positive sexual innuendo, though she and I both hate long stretches of embarrassment humor. We're making it through Buffy by talking over the really bad bits.

Oh hai hope you don't mind if I de-hermit to comment on this because I saw Pitch Perfect in theaters and then IMMEDIATELY bought it when it came out yesterday and made the SO watch it with me, and we both were just so full of joy because it's such a fantastic and happy movie! Yay Pitch Perfect. Also, I co-sign Bridesmaids.

When I saw it I was honestly surprised that the main lead didn't end up with the Bella with the nodes.

After the shower scene it just felt like it should have ended with those two making beautiful music.
