Pitch Perfect ***

"Pitch Perfect" is a refreshingly entertaining film centered on Beca (a smart and empathetic Anna Kendrick), a freshman with ideas of her own, who brings some much-needed life to a staid college a capella singing group. All of the girls in the cast can, and do, actually sing, and the arrangements are a fine mix of standards and mashups. Rebel Wilson, who was so funny in "Bridesmaids" and "Bachelorette," rounds out a hat trick of stellar turns with her portrayal of Fat Amy, who calls herself that before the "stick bitches" can do it behind her back. It's great toe-tapping fun, good laughs, with the requisite growing pains that even stick bitches must suffer.
