Pitch Perfect

Pitch Perfect is a 2012 musical comedy directed by Jason Moore. The film is about a war between rival a cappella groups and the protagonist is a rebellious girl named Beca who joins one of the groups as an escape from her unhappy life at school. It is set for release on October 5th, 2012.

Summary
Beca (Anna Kendrick) is that girl who'd rather listen to what's coming out of her headphones than what's coming out of you. Arriving at her new college, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together, in the new out-loud comedy Pitch Perfect.

When Beca takes this acoustic singing group out of their world of traditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mash-ups, they fight to climb their way to the top of the cutthroat world of college a cappella. This could wind up either the coolest thing they'll ever do or the most insane, and it will probably be a little of both.

The Original Novel
The film is based on Mickey Rapkin's non-fiction novel "Pitch Perfect." Rapkin, senior editor at GQ magazine, spent a season covering competitive collegiate a cappella. He followed the groups from Tufts University, the University of Oregon and the University of Virginia, writing about the singing, groupies, partying and rivalries. The story follows an all-girls a cappella group who rebuilds so they can make their way to the championship and take on the boys.
