I know it was filmed at LSU but forgot that fact when we saw it yesterday. Wish I would have remembered. I moved from BR 28 years ago so the campus has changed somewhat. If you saw the movie, could you recognize where they were?

i didn't know it was filmed in BR before i saw it.
At the part where they were in the greek theatre, i told my so "i think they filmed this at lsu. that looks familiar".

she rolled her eyes and snickered.

When they were in the Quad i was 100% sure and made her google it b/c she still didn't believe me,

Yeah I could recognize a few buildings but it's not like you'll see CEBA or anything. Not that anyone needs to see CEBA in a movie I guess. Was a fun movie though. Much better than expected.

Was the empty pool the one in the Huey Long field house?

I thought this movie was hilarious.

The empty pool is the one at the Huey Long Field House.

Would make a great setting for a horror movie. "Young Coed killed while trying to escape in building with a room numbering scheme derived from Satan."

A few of my friends were in the movie as extras and I think some of them met Anna Kendrick and/or Brittany Snow!

The wife and I saw this last night. Neither of us knew it was filmed at LSU and right away I was like "that looks like LSU". Then they showed the quad and ampitheatre and I was sure. It was pretty cool seeing LSU in so many scenes there.

Finally had a chance to see this because I was curious to see LSU's campus on film (and Anna Kendrick). The movie was alright... not really up my alley, but I loved seeing LSU and BR shown so extensively. Here are places/things I noticed:

Places I noticed:
-quad
-amphitheater
-pentagon dorms
-swine palace
-under Tiger Stadium (east side)
-Huey P Long field house pool
-Back patio of the Zeta house (not positive on this one but there's clearly an LSU frat bro in the scene with costas and camo croakies)
-Area between bell tower and Middleton
-Music and Dramatic Arts building
-Union Theater (not sure about this one either)
-River Road
-Kean's Cleaners is used as a gas station
-Shaw Center theater (might be wrong on this one too)

Other things I noticed:
-Rotolos cup full of pencils gets knocked over
-Styrofoam cup from Am Mart is in the background of one scene
-Ann Kendrick is fiya and it's a shame that this was filmed after I graduated otherwise I totally would've put a ring on that.

Also, one of the girls in the Bella's was an LSU student. Pretty sure she was a KD. She used to quasi date a poster on TD.. really nice girl.

I saw Pitch Perfect when it was in theaters. In going to buy the DVD when I get my Christmas money. It was really cool seeing LSU in a movie .

And I thought this movie was about baseball until the first singing scene.

Not a particularly good movie, but not bad, either. They chose to set up a ton of stuff regarding Becca that sort of gets pushed aside during the end of the second and third acts.

Like her relationship with her father, the job at the radio station, plus a few other small details.

Still liked it more than I expected, though.

Not sure if you got her name mixed up, but Shelly is the name of the girl I'm referring to. There were several students in the movie but she was the one with the largest role.

That movie was funny. As I was watching it I knew the area looked familiar.
