Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | N/A
0/5 Really? Nothing. Don’t want to help us out with the movie concept? Okay.
| First they took his daughter, now they are coming for him.
4/5 This quickly establishes the purpose and the plot for a sequel.
| Get Pitch Slapped.
4/5 It’s a pun, hilarious!
| Taken 2 and Pitch Perfect split the point for awesome taglines. Pitch Slapped...haha.
|
| Best Part of Trailer | It had a throw-back to original horror trailers, very interesting. Wonder if kids will find it funny, though?
| Yee-haw! Perfect blend of action and family dynamics!
| Hahahah. I laughed outloud like five different times- unheard of for a trailer.
| Liam Neeson, you would normally make a trailer, but have you met Rebel Wilson? Point for Pitch Perfect.
|
| Coolest Lead Actor | The voice of Winona Ryder from Edward Scissorhands, Mr. Deeds, and Girl Interrupted.
| Liam Neeson from Taken, Schindler’s List, and Star Wars.
| Anna Kendrick from Up in the Air, 50/50, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

| Best Cast | Also the voices of Catherine O’Hara (Home Alone) and Martin Short (SNL)
| Famke Janssen (The X-Men trilogy)
