As it turns out, Pieter has an ulterior motive for luring Bumper across the Atlantic: Bumper’s shot at stardom is also Pieter’s grasp for redemption, since Pieter has never recovered from a cheating scandal that turned Das Sound Machine into “Germany’s second greatest shame.” (To which Bumper responds, “What’s Germany’s first greatest - oh. Bumper’s TikToks have gone viral in Germany, unbeknownst to him, and Pieter wants to manage his path to bona-fide success.īumper in Berlin carries on the Pitch Perfect comedic tradition of pretending a cappella is a way bigger deal than any real person in the real world might reasonably believe it to be. Then Pieter (Flula Borg) - previously seen in Pitch Perfect 2 as part of Das Sound Machine, “the rival a cappella group to my former a cappella group’s rival a cappella group,” as Bumper helpfully recaps - calls with an out-of-the-blue offer. As of the premiere, directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson, he’s still rattling around Barden University as a security guard, his hopes of musical fame dwindling by the day. Though Bumper in Berlin picks up several years after the Pitch Perfect movies, not much has changed for Bumper Allen since the second installment. But they’re stretched too thin across an otherwise pointless series with few fresh ideas and a wearying protagonist. The series, created by Megan Amram and Elizabeth Banks, isn’t entirely charmless it benefits from a game cast and a smattering of decent laugh lines. The Riff-Off, a music improvisational competition often appears or is mentioned.Cast: Adam Devine, Flula Borg, Sarah Hyland, Lera Abova, Jameela Jamilĭeveloped for television by: Megan Amram, Elizabeth BanksĪs Bumper well knows, however, not every member of an ensemble is destined to break out as a solo act, and that unfortunately proves to be the case in his eponymous TV spinoff.Similarly, music related puns are common.Attaching the prefix aca- to a word (aca-children, aca-bitches, etc) has become a meme in the Pitch Perfect fandom and is often present in fanfic.Jashley or Jessley is for Jessica/Ashley.Bella Squared is for Beca/Chloe/Aubrey/Stacie.In 2015, there was a spark of interest in crackships including Chloe/Stacie, Beca/Emily, Stacie/Emily, Beca/Chloe/Emily, Stacie/Beca, and Chloe/Cynthia-Rose. Other fairly popular pairings include Aubrey/Stacie, Chloe/Aubrey, Beca/Aubrey, Beca/Chloe/Aubrey, Ashley/Jessica, and Beca/Kommissar. Chloe/Beca is the most popular pairing by far in the fandom. ![]() Shipping in this fandom is almost overwhelmingly femslash. The introduction of the character Kommisar occured in this movie, and Beca's comments towards Kommisar spurred Beca/Kommissar as a ship.Īlthough Jesse/Beca is canon, the abundance of female characters with screen time mean that as of September 2016, the number of stories on where Jesse is even a *character* is less than 1/4 of the total, and on the slightly smaller archive of AO3 it does not even make the top 10 list of pairings. This may be due to more racist jokes, unconvincing character development, or the repetition of much of the first source material. Many fans believe that Pitch Perfect 2 was not as good as the first movie. Beca eventually takes over as leader, learns to love the Bellas and Jesse, and wins the competition with her new friends, the Bellas. Leader Aubrey Posen of the Bellas is set on winning, beating the Trebles and redeeming herself from their failure last year, but her conservative song choices throw a wrench in her plans. The Barden Bellas are rivals with the all-male acapella group called the Treblemakers, which Jesse joins. She works at a record store with love interest Jesse and joins the struggling all-female acapella group, the Barden Bellas. Actors starring in major or fan favourite roles in this movie include Anna Kendrick as Beca Mitchell, the protagonist, Rebel Wilson as " Fat Amy," Skylar Astin as Jesse Swanson, Anna Camp as Aubrey Posen, and Brittany Snow as Chloe Beale.īeca Mitchell begins unwillingly attending Barden University instead of becoming a DJ due to her divorced father's wishes.
