A lot of fun.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

YO why was pitch perfect 2 released?I just watched that film in horror and there's only white voices present throughout the entire film.I know it's Hollywood and it's nothing new but it's just a slap in the face and bad fracking writing, I rather a shitty movie with all white people, just don't bother to include us at all next time.The gay black chick only has lines where she comments on being low key attracted to other girls on the team, (okay that's fine, but we never know anything else about her) and no one ever responds to her flirtations, so what is she just creepy?the Latina girl only talks about possible deportation and explains about horrors she's experienced growing up, but the audience is supposed to laugh at it because of its quick delivery.and when they wrote the character for the Asian girl they decided that she'd be the one who had the quietest speaking voice and no one could ever hear her talk.I'm not even mad because I know this type of film won't go away but I'm just like damn

Anna Kendrick is lovable, she is very sweet, very sexy and very cute. And yes, all of the main heroes have excellent voices. Then, the music is cool, there are snippets of numerous outstanding melodies and awesome vocal arrangements (although, way too often acapella suddenly turns into a full-blown instrumental backing, which left me quite puzzled and bemused). Other ladies are sweet and attractive, too. Well, that's it. As for the movie - million times you've seen this endless saga of past success-turned-fiasco-turned-newbie-turned- growing pains-turned-long way to the top-turned-in the end everything's gonna be alright. You will see nothing new here. What is really awful ( and I mean this - really really poor) is this absolutely low-level racial-cultural stereotyping of the worst kind. I was shocked and saw in utter amazement those shameful caricatures of certain peoples. Silly, in the weakest manner said. The rest is just a forgettable, passable, liquid junk of silliest kind. It all is underdeveloped and lacking real depth. It's not even realistic or funny, to say the least. Music here gets 4 points, as there are many bad and schlock schmaltzy tunes, but the movie deserves nothing. It is so badly bad.

First of all, I want to make clear that I really enjoyed the first movie. But, as many cinema fanatics are claiming, sequels always make the things worse. The comparison with the first attempt is inevitable. Pitch Perfect 2 simply doesn't have a plot. For one more time, I'll remind you that I'm not bothered of the uncountable cliché in such movies. And that's not the real problem here. The problem seems to be related to the lack of fancy and impulsion. The film is set in a way that we can easily discern how obviously none wants to give a maximum performance. Also, we're talking about a comedy film and it's really sad that humor is totally based on Rebel's Wilson lines, and to be honest joking about weight is not so funny anymore. The whole movie setup reminds me the ''Step Up'' saga, with the difference that the dancing saga mostly leans on the romantic element. Now, the only good element in this film is music. Yes, music is pretty pleasant and the songs I have to admit that they're very enjoyable. Especially, in the end, the singing performances will raise a smile, in contrast with the rest of the film. Maybe this happens due to poor cast's performance. Anna Kendrick all these years has set high standards, but in Pitch Perfect 2 she seems completely uninterested. Her unsatisfactory performance in conjunction with the zero chemistry she has with her partner (Skylar Astin), contribute to movie's failure. Also, about Hailee Steinfeld, is too early to censure her, even though I'd prefer to see her in different roles because her potentiality it's obvious. In conclusion, Pitch Perfect 2 is not what we're expecting and I hope it won't end up with a trilogy.

The movie in question uses the same plot formula as the first, but executes it worse. I don't necessarily care about the comedy, but everything feels as the same as the first movie. From some random disaster that happens to the Bellas, a new girl coming into the group that ends up helping them, or some "unexpected way" to win in some competition. Along with the same direct plot formula, the main antagonist group, Das Sound Machine should have won the main competition, as the Bellas' performance is not even close to comparison. No part of the movie is redeemable from its repetition and generic character, but it's still tolerable to the point that I won't put a 1 star.
