Pitch Perfect 2 contains racism – True

Der Film ist geprägt von derben Witzen und Kommentaren, die rassistisch (Juden/Jüdinnen, „Krauts“/Deutsche, Asiat/innen), frauenfeindlich (Fettleibige usw.) und klischeehaft (Minderheiten, „böse Deutsche“/gegnerische Formation „The ...

Although Anna Kendrick’s character Becca is meant to be the star of the movie, she really doesn’t appear much after the car show incident until later on, which minimizes her part in the movie compared to “Pitch Perfect.”

(Thats a very loaded statement considering that Glee is a television show that allows time for characters to develop, but seriously, the only character development in Pitch Perfect is a girl learning that if she has nothing to say, then use what someone else has to say and take credit for it). I am glad to find out that this film is directed by a woman and written by a woman and the protagonists are women, but that doesn’t make the casual racism and ridiculous stereotyping excusable in my books.

Kevin Fallon of The Daily Beast ... the casual racism in the subplot about Flo, a senior Bella singer from Guatemala. He also did not find the racially charged jokes from the commentators funny. On April 11, 2015, a month before the release of Pitch Perfect 2, it was announced ...

Parents need to know that Pitch Perfect 2 is the sequel to 2012's word-of-mouth a capella hit Pitch Perfect. Many of the stars from the first movie -- including Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Skylar Astin, and Adam Devine -- reprise their roles in this installment, which is equally teen-friendly, albeit with a bit of edge. As in the original, there are jokes at the expense of the overweight, though the main overweight character also embraces her appearance. Commentator characters also make blatantly racist and sexist comments, but they're intended to be seen as over the top.

Der Soundtrack zu Pitch Perfect 2 erschien am 17. Mai 2015 bei Universal Music. Er enthält vorwiegend Coversongs, die von den Filmdarstellern interpretiert werden, aber unter anderem auch den als Single ausgekoppelten Track Flashlight von Jessie J. Mit 107.000 verkauften Einheiten stieg das ...

Spätestens wenn das typische Wettbewerb-Element dazu kommt wird es richtig peinlich, zumal man meint, dies alles vor und auch nach Glee on Tour – Der 3D Film und den High School Musicals schon hundertfach mit wesentlich besseren Songs gesehen zu haben. So ist auch Pitch Perfect ein Film, ...

Part of the backwards appeal of Pitch Perfect was the off-color comedy. It was gross and offensive on purpose. But lines about Ester Dean’s homosexuality or Hana Mae Lee’s Silent Asian Girl tendencies came from the film’s good-natured owning of stereotypes in order to them play them for proud comedy. Rebel Wilson’s Fat Amy is probably the best example of the film as an empowerment message: take pride in your weirdness and of the base-level things that other people will define you by, and then throw it back in their faces.

“The movie’s off-color humor also doesn’t connect like it once did either,” says Rodrigo Perez at Indiewire of Pitch Perfect 2. “The casual racism, homophobia, and sexism might be tolerable if any of it was remotely funny, but none of it is.”

"Pitch Perfect 2" promised more a capella, more sisterhood and more off-color comedy. The problem? The movie's race jokes are tone-deaf and border on casual racism. Entertainment Weekly's Nina Terrero and The New York Daily News' Zayda Rivera talk about Hollywood's problem with diversity.

Pitch Perfect 2 hit a few wrong notes for the Village Voice's Alan Scherstuhl and special guest Monica Castillo, but LA Weekly film critic Amy Nicholson interpreted the film's humor a little differently.

The point of satire is to critique, not merely to say absurd things that play on existing biases to get a laugh. There were moments of racial comedy as satire in Pitch Perfect 2 that were spot on. John makes a joke about border hopping concerning Flo and her being a “Mexican,” and Gail immediately calls him out for it, noting that she is from Guatemala.
