The plot follows Barden University's all-girl acappella group, The Barden Bellas, as they compete against another acappella group from their college to win Nationals. The film is loosely adapted from Mickey Rapkin's non-fiction book, titled Pitch Perfect: The Quest for Collegiate a Cappella Glory. LAST CALL OF PITCHES 😍

“'Vader' in German means 'father'. His name is literally Darth Father.”

“Huh. So you know German. Well, now I know why you don't like fun things. You know, you need a movie education. You need a moviecation. And I'm gonna give it to you.”

WorldsOkayestStepMom I love this movie!!! 5y
RidgewayGirl Father in German is “Vater,” not “Vader.” Maybe in Dutch? 5y
LiterRohde @RidgewayGirl I didn‘t write the book or make the movie. It‘s just a funny quote. Neither the Dutch vader nor the German vater sound exactly like Darth Vader. But they are close. And her point is right. Overthinking it, in another language it means father and it makes the twist obvious. The other character is just thinking about enjoying a movie. 5y

Mehso-so

Yes this book inspired the movie and parts of it were fun enough to read. It follows the exploits of 3 a cappella groups (Divisi, a female group from the U of Oregon, & 2 male groups the UVA Hullabaloos & the Tufts Beelzebubs). The professional aspects of a cappella were too detailed for the average reader so I reckon this is more for diehard fans. (Also no mention of the Gilmore Girls so in which the Whiffenpoofs appear!)

read_diverse_books Loved the movies! But it would never occur to be to read any book tie-ins. Lol 8y
DuckOfDoom I am really suprised the movie was based on a book 8y
