    The movie was great because how they acted their roles were exceptional. Honestly, the roles given to them are really hard because they will handle all the emotional and physical challenges of their roles. You really need a good actors to be able to act it out, and so they did. It was so moving, since you are able to see hopeless people who as much as possible keep their selves positive and enthusiastic in life. It is directed by Penny Marshall, the film was produced by…

    This movie is probably the best newer more modern high school movie I have seen. One thing that was ironic about this movie is that in this high school movie they watch The Breakfast Club another iconic high school movie. This is another high school movie known for its musical numbers throughout the movie especially their acapella numbers. Pitch Perfect is a very funny movie with really great actors and actresses. Pitch Perfect's well know tagline in the movie is “get pitch slapped”.…

    A lot of females fall deeply in love and seem to get off track and unfocused. Instead of following her dreams she follows her ex-boyfriend to Harvard Law School but had no clue she was going to end up finding her true self and live her dream. Yes, everyone make mistakes and unintelligent decisions, but do not let that one silly mistake ruin their life. Elle woods is driven to do her best, no matter how ridiculous is sounds. She gives hope to women to accomplish what seems impossible. She firmly stands up for what she believes and encourage people to do the same. Personally I think the overall musical was okay. The movie was better than the musical for a lot of different reasons. The movie had a bigger audience than the musical. I do not think they should have made a musical for Legally Blonde. The musical has a power to connect with people on an emotional level that people can connect…

    The soundtrack was impressive and gave suspense and drama as where needed. The special FX was up to date and gave a realistic feel to the movie. The cinematography is what brought this film's ratings up in my opinion. I really like the irony in the lightning, Especially Pegg's use of zoom-ins and quick cuts… hilarious. Also, the camera angles of when Ed drives himself and Shaun to his parent's house dodging zombies left and right was also very entertaining. I believe I almost jumped out of my seat in fright when Ed hit the lurking zombie speeding down the…
