Pitch Perfect is one of those little movies I can show anyone and they all love it. Elizabeth Banks! Rebel Wilson! Anna Kendrick! Every single other castmember! The music! The one-liners! The over-sexualized dance numbers! It is all perfection — even with its very spotty plot.
But sequels scare the shit out of me.
There are just SO MANY bad sequels out there; they seem even more likely to go rotten when they’ve been forcibly conjured up by the success of the first movie. And when a sequel is bad, it kind of ruins the original as well. It’s like looking back on the honeymoon phase of a relationship gone sour — all you see are the red flags.
That being said:
PITCH PERFECT 2 IS COMING! PITCH PERFECT 2 IS COMING! ELIZABETH BANKS IS DIRECTING! ELIZABETH BANKS IS DIRECTING!
I will be optimistic about this sequel until proven otherwise. Prepare to drool:
P.S. Just re-watched the trailer. Not a huge fan of how they dolled up Beca. In the first movie, she wasn’t exactly a false lashes type of girl. And where is Cynthia Rose?? Did we lose our token lesbian?!
