Rebel Wilson is the peroxided Aussi who stole scenes as Kristen Wiig's roommate in "Bridesmaids," and this is the role that will turn her into a star.

Pitch Perfect is an enjoyably snarky campus romp that's both wildly nerdy and somewhat sexy.

As spirited and irresistible as the college a cappella craze it celebrates, Pitch Perfect is a cheeky delight.

Without the music, the movie might have been painful, but the songs, Auto-Tuned and processed as they are, generate a hooky bliss. They're the chewy center of this ultra-synthetic hard candy.

All told, Pitch Perfect isn't all that good – but it's an awfully good sport.

Pitch Perfect slaps that stencil onto college a cappella singing groups, with a smattering of success.
