Definitely looks like something aimed at the Glee generation. I'd see it if the music is good, and Anna Camp is a bonus.

Yes. 1000x yes.

I've been excited about this one for a while. Looks fun.

Doesn't seem like my type of movie but that is one hot cast. Who knows, maybe it'll be the next Mean Girls or Bring It On.

So basically, it's a two-hour Glee episode?

This.

Bring It On and Fired Up! had terrible marketing and promotion, but goddamnit, I love the both of them.

Rebel Wilson looks awesome in this, but the rest of the trailer is meh. I'm ready to be proved wrong.

Bring it On is easily one of my favorite movies of all time, and not just because of Eliza Dushku.

The script is genuinely hilarious and some of the cheerleading stunts are pretty insane. It's just a fun flick and this looks like more of the same.

You seem to have a pretty high opinion of this twilight actress just because she was an Oscar nominee.

Do you also have this high of an opinion of Jonah Hill?

riotinmyskull, don't answer him. He'll just invalidate anything that you say.

Anna Kendrick gets a lifetime pass from me due to being involved with the film Camp.

She could do Twilight films for the rest of her career and I'm okay with that.

Hopefully, her career only lasts until the end of this year then.

Good. Then I'll boot my wife out of the house and take Ms. Kendrick in.

Wait, is she still boning Edgar Wright? Man, that guy pulls in some high quality pussy.

I love Camp. That's what I always associate her with.

And I just noticed that "Get Pitch Slapped" tag line. There's already an a cappella group called "Pitch Slap". The were on NBC's The Sing Off. Think they ripped them off

Quite right. I actually like Anna Kendrick--I just didn't want to pass up an opportunity to bash Twilight.

Kendrick is good in Rocket Science, too. I haven't seen Camp--I'll have to check it out.

I hate the Twilight movies, love Anna Kendrick, but doubt I will be seeing this one. I'm not too big on the whole Glee thing, yet I liked Rock of Ages.

I thought I was the only person who had seen (and liked) Camp!

Rocket Science is good, but Thumbsucker runs fucking miles around it.

Loved this movie - smiled from start to finish. It is Bring it On meets The Sing Off, but it is really well done, with an excellent cast. If you like movies that only aim to entertain, this one delivers big time. It's so much better than Glee, I hope people find it.
