Pitch Perfect 2--great flick!

I watched the first movie with a lady friend of mine on DVD and really enjoyed it. We went and saw the sequel last night.

This is some really nice entertainment! I enjoyed the music and subtle mix of irony with sincerity. The characters are entertainingly drawn, and the plot riffs on cliches while still maintaining interest. I think this movie is a worthy accompaniment to the first and is just about the same in quality and entertainment value.

The theater we went to was fairly packed. I’m a 43-year-old dude, and the theater was mostly (to my mild surprise) teen girls. Oh, sure, it’s a chick flick (and I’m a guy who digs chick flicks), but I hadn’t known that the demo skewed so young. In any case, peeps were into it.

Anyone else see it, and what did you think?

I’m disappointed that Pentatonix didn’t get a name check. Come on, they’re the biggest real life a capella group in the world. Plus they were playing Canadian characters.

But it was fun, I love Rebel Wilson, I don’t know Flula Borg from YouTube, but I may have to start watching his channel, and I don’t know Andrew Fitzpatrick from Vine, but his beat boxing was good. Why was Robin Roberts there?

Thanx, Rick Kitchen, don’t know some of the people you mentioned, but it’s good to learn. Was Pentatonix in the movie? I didn’t recognize them, but they are great indeed.

One guy I recognized was Reggie Watts. Here’s a great video by him (NSFW due to cursing, perhaps, nothing else):

Pentatonix were the Canadian entry in the montage of foreign teams at the world championships.

Ah, they were good!

Could you spoil this for me? Are they multiple overly-long vomit scenes? I really could have done without those in the first one.

7

None!

I just saw it this afternoon, and as it was ending I thought “I liked this even better than the first one, if only because there was no vomit-based humor.”
