Ok, I went into this not knowing much about it. I saw Rebel Wilson in the trailers. She is cute and funny, and the trailers made it seem as if this was a comedy, in my opinion. I was half-right. It turned out to be a comedy-musical. But, I love Rebel Wilson and Anna Kendricks so I thought I would stick through the movie. The movie centers around Anna Kendricks, and she is just a relatable character.
Rebel Wilson is so adorable and funny. I loved seeing her in "Bridesmaids". She always steals the show no matter what scene she is in. I can not wait to see what other movies she has ahead of her. The last time I saw Brittany Snow in a movie was in "Prom Night" and I didn't think her acting ability was all that great. But, since then, her acting has greatly improved. And I'm glad she went redhead in this. It makes her stand out a bit more.
This is Hana Mae Lee's first movie. She has a quiet, cute sense about her in the movie. For a while, I thought it was Winnie Cooper, but with an Asian flare. But, she was great in her part also. She also steals the scene when it is focused on her.
However, I was not expecting a musical when I went into this, and that was my downfall for this movie. Not that I was expecting no singing at all. But, there was just too much singing. If they lessened the singing and focused more on the story of Anna Kendrick's character, this probably would have been much more enjoyable on a story-telling level.
If you like TV shows like "The X Factor" and singing/dancing talent shows of the like, then you may enjoy this movie. If I liked shows like that, I may have enjoyed the movie more than I did. But, it was ok for what it was. Totally worth seeing for the acting talent alone.
Final Rating: C+
