Welcome back movie lovers! I’m back again for another look at the home video releases for the week for all you faithful FTS readers.

Pitch Perfect 2

Who’s in it?
Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Hailee Steinfeld, Katey Sagal, Adam DeVine, Elizabeth Banks

What’s it about?
“After a humiliating command performance at Lincoln Center, the Barden Bellas enter an international competition that no American group has ever won in order to regain their status and right to perform.” – IMDB

Nate’s Two Cents?
I really enjoyed the first Pitch Perfect film, so I was highly anticipating the sequel. I liked the second installment, just not as much as the first. It felt like there was something missing that the first film had. I still found the film enjoyable though, and if you liked the first one you will most likely enjoy this as well. A third film has already been announced, which sort of has me scared. Im hoping they don’t just keep pumping these out and going for quantity over quality as so many franchises do.

Chef

Who’s in it?
Jon Favreau, John Leguizamo, Sofia Vergara, Dustin Hoffman, Scarlett Johansson, Oliver Platt, Robert Downey Jr.

What’s this thing about?
“Chef Carl Casper (Jon Favreau) suddenly quits his job at a prominent Los Angeles restaurant after refusing to compromise his creative integrity for its controlling owner (Dustin Hoffman), he is left to figure out what’s next. Finding himself in Miami, he teams up with his ex-wife (Sofia Vergara), his friend (John Leguizamo) and his son to launch a food truck. Taking to the road, Chef Carl goes back to his roots to reignite his passion for the kitchen — and zest for life and love.” – Open Road

Nate’s Two Cents?
I really liked this movie a lot and honestly it’s the best movie Favreau has directed in a while. I found the story really interesting, yet still simple. The father/son relationship added a family aspect to the film that makes the film relatable. Plus there’s the fact that the movie will leave your mouth watering for hours, craving a delicious Cuban sandwich. Go on, give it a watch!
