Two years ago, Anna Kendrick exploded with "Pitch Perfect." The surprise smash hit gave the actress a platform to sing and show off her comedic chops in a leading role, and audiences were hooked—the movie earned over $110 million worldwide (not bad for a comedy about acapella groups), and the soundtrack sold over 1 million copies. While Universal is getting the sequel ready to drop next year, Hollywood didn't wait long to give Kendrick another vehicle to display her unique, combined array of talents. "The Last Five Years" is the full blown musical that Kendrick seemed destined to make, but unfortunately it's too much of a good thing. Adapted from Jason Robert Brown's off-Broadway production by Richard Lagravenese, the story is fairly straight-forward. Starting at the end, the movie centers entirely on Cathy (Kendrick) and Jamie (Jeremy Jordan), hopscotching through time and tracking their romance, careers and the eventual downfall of their marriage.
