Review of Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) by Grim_Fandango — 29 Jun 2015
Anna Kendrick is lovely and charming however,.
Watching this movie in the cinema was a bit of an awkward experience. Quite often, the movie appears to be trying hard to get the audience to laugh, but the jokes falls so flat that there is hardly any response.
What stands out most is that people in the (Dutch) audience were kind of offended. The frequent "latina" jokes had people looking at their friends and partners like "what the hell" in quiet discomfort. When the main characters, which are supposed to be educated women, did not know where Copenhagen was I already felt that the movie celebrated ignorance. But when one of the characters during the trip to Denmark asked something like "It is so dirty and smelly, why do Americans ever leave America", the European audience was laughing AT the movie.
Fat amy's self-deprecating fat-jokes were the funniest thing in the movie... and they were not that funny.
