What did you think of this film?

After two films of true friendship and relentless flirting, Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake) are now officially, finally, a couple (#broppy)! As they grow closer, Poppy discovers that Branch has a secret past. He was once part of her favorite boyband phenomenon, BroZone, with his four brothers: Floyd (Troye Sivan), John Dory (Eric André), Spruce (Daveed Diggs) and Clay (Kid Cudi). BroZone disbanded when Branch was still a baby, as did the family, and Branch hasn’t seen his brothers since.

But when Branch’s bro Floyd is kidnapped for his musical talents by a pair of nefarious pop-star villains—Velvet (Amy Schumer) and Veneer (Andrew Rannells)—Branch and Poppy embark on a harrowing and emotional journey to reunite the other brothers and rescue Floyd from a fate even worse than pop-culture obscurity.

The start of the credits feature a musical performance by BroZone as well as Branch and his other bandmates. At the end of the song, Branch approaches Poppy, goes down on one knee, and asks “Will you…?” Poppy excitedly finishes “…Join the band?! Of course I will!” Poppy grabs Viva and they both get onstage to perform a song with BroZone.
Later, Tiny Diamond is sitting on a couch talking about his recent adventures and personal development. He asks how much the session costs and whether it’s covered by insurance. We see Mr. Dinkles reply in a deep voice “No, I’m out of network.”
As the credits end, we hear Viva say “Oh wow, it’s like sunshine in my earholes.”
