My Review-

First off I knew by watching the trailer for this movie it would be funny, but I did not know it be as funny as it was. It seems sometimes that most movies like this are made just because of the show Glee, but this was made off a back based off just what happens behind the scenes at competitions for this one, and just off that came a really funny movie. This movie was almost like a band of misfits trying to make it and they had the right people to pull it off led by Anna Kendrick and a very funny Rebel Wilson, Wilson basically made the movie very funny along with everyone else but she stood out the most. However there was one person who I never really heard of that made some of the scenes she was in awkward yet funny, because she was so quiet, and that was Hana Mae Lee, who made her character Lily surprising when we found out what she actually did in the movie on the side. The song choices for the movie were really good instead of using past songs they used songs that were smash hits today, and even though I do not like some of them they are better as cover songs. I love how there were some movie references even though it was a really small amount it made the movie even better. There were also just some small scenes with some actors that made some bit parts very funny and made some scenes hard to forget. Even though the movie started off really slow and was only funny here and there once it hit what the movie was really about it did not slow down. The movie also had some really memorable lines that are hard to forget. The thing that made this movie very good was that it was surprising to see some actors that I knew of and never knowing that they could sing until this movie came out. I can see why this movie was a surprise hit, and it deserves to be, because it sneaks up on you and you don't see it coming and how funny it was going to be until half way through the movie. If you're looking for a movie that is a surprise hit this is a movie for you and well if you like movies that also have singing in them.
