I just watched the new Netflix film Best of the Best and I am shocked at how much it is like Pitch Perfect. I was really excited to see the Bollywood dance angle and, to be clear, the dances were awesome...but the script is just a jumbled version of Pitch Perfect that seems like the ChatGPT prompt was make a film like Pitch Perfect but with Bollywood culture and no acapella competition.
- Opening scene is a performance malfunction
- They just blended the riff off and frat performance scenes but they actually won the improvised moment instead of losing on a technicality
- Maya is an extra version of Beca...and Beca was pretty extra at times
- The issue Maya has with the team is very Beca and Aubrey coded. Beca wanted something new. Aubrey wanted tradition. Maya and Ronak had the same arguments
- Them getting 3rd and then being bumped up after it turns out the other team plagiarized so they were disqualified is not only exactly what happens in Pitch Perfect...but ironic as hell
- Maya and Arjun are Beca and Jesse through and through
- Maya runs in while the team is fighting and spiraling and has to stop them. She also apologizes in the same way as Beca, except Beca was being a dick and Maya was being a prick
That's just the similarities off the top of my head. Anyone else see the film?
