Beca is a fairly aloof music lover who arrives at Barden University as a freshman apathetically unable to fit into any sort of clique on campus. She is approached by the leaders of an a capella girls singing group, The Bellas, who ask her if she would like to join. Beca declines insisting that she doesn't sing, however she is soon discovered by one of the leaders whilst she belts out some tunes in the shower and is almost forcibly dragged onto the team. The singing group turns out to be an odd mix of weird kids, mean ones and dumb but nice girls who all create the most amazing sound when bundled together for a song session; Beca fits into the diversity pretty easily. The group set out to compete against their counterparts, a formidable male singing group, in a college contest.
This lively musical comedy was originally written as a non-fiction book by GQ editor Mickey Rapkin who researched the singing groups of various universities and the a capella boy/ girl competitions. Kay Cannon (a '30 Rock' producer) wrote the screenplay and the movie is directed by Jason Moore (worked on episodes of 'Dawson's Creek', 'One Tree Hill' and 'Brothers and Sisters'). Set to be released on October 19th 2012.
