“Pitch Perfect” is an American musical comedy film series created by Kay Cannon, loosely based on the non-fiction book “Pitch Perfect: The Quest for Collegiate a Cappella Glory” by Mickey Rapkin. It features an ensemble cast including Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp, Brittany Snow, Skylar Astin, Adam DeVine, Ben Platt, Alexis Knapp, Hailee Steinfeld, and more. The series has since gained a cult following, grossing $565 million worldwide, and the second film is the highest grossing musical comedy film of all time, beating the record previously set by “School of Rock.”
This music-steeped comedy draws on the world of a cappella groups to tell the story of an intense competition between three ensembles.
Three years after winning the Pitch Perfect, the Barden Bellas are now led by senior Beca Mitchell and three-time super senior Chloe Beale. The Bellas have become International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella champions each of these three years. However, the group becomes involved in a national scandal (dubbed "Muffgate") when Patricia "Fat Amy" Hobart accidentally rips her pants in front of President of the United States Barack Obama during a performance on his birthday at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, showing her genitalia to the public as she going commando. This scandal leads to the Bellas' suspension from the ICCAs. Beca makes a deal to allow the Bellas to be reinstated should they win the World Championship of a cappella.
Three years after their Pitch Perfect 2, the Bellas have graduated from Barden College, but all hate their jobs. Beca, Fat Amy, Chloe, Aubrey, Lilly, Stacie, Cynthia Rose, Florencia, Jessica, and Ashley are thrilled when Emily, now a senior and leader of the current Barden Bellas, asks them to sing at an event. Arriving at the reunion, they learn that Emily simply invited them to see the new Bellas.
