Anna Kendrick stars in this 2012 musical comedy film about a freshman college student who reluctantly joins an all-female a cappella group and helps them compete in national championships. What is the title of this movie?

The movie described is indeed "Pitch Perfect," a musical comedy that captivated audiences in 2012. It stars Anna (Review) Kendrick as Beca Mitchell, a reluctant freshman at Barden University who initially has no interest in college life and dreams of becoming a music producer. However, she is persuaded by her father to join a club, leading her to audition for and eventually become a member of the Barden Bellas, an all-female a cappella group. The film follows the Bellas as they navigate the competitive world of collegiate a cappella, striving to overcome their internal struggles and rivalries to compete for the national championship.

"Pitch Perfect" became a sleeper hit, grossing over $115 million worldwide against a modest $17 million budget. Its success can be attributed to its clever blend of humor, engaging musical performances, and a charismatic ensemble cast that includes Rebel Wilson as the memorable "Fat Amy" and Brittany Snow as Chloe. The film is loosely based on Mickey Rapkin's non-fiction book, "Pitch Perfect: The Quest for Collegiate a Cappella Glory," which explored the real-life world of competitive collegiate a cappella.

Beyond its box office success, "Pitch Perfect" had a significant cultural impact, revitalizing interest in a cappella music and spawning two successful sequels, "Pitch Perfect 2" (2015) and "Pitch Perfect 3" (2017). Anna Kendrick's rendition of "Cups (When I'm Gone)," which was incorporated into the movie after producers saw a viral video, even became a hit single, spending 44 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The movie's witty dialogue, often improvised by the cast, and its dynamic musical arrangements contributed to its lasting appeal and cemented its place as a beloved musical comedy.
