The a capella performances where spot-on and never failed to impress( in my opinion a slight improvement over the first film). You won't find anything out of the ordinary in its story, however the film constantly finds a way of keeping your attention up during its 115 minutes runtime.

No, it isn't as good as the first film and no, not every joke delivers. But let's be honest, it's still utterly entertaining and hilarious.… Expand

The cast are solid, with Rebel Wilson carrying the humour and heart of the storyline. The dialogue is hilarious, with some delightfully subtle humour woven throughout, though the plot remains predictable and occasionally twee. As a musical, the soundtrack is fantastic, which is to be expected, and this somewhat makes up for the lack of real tension in the general story arc. Many laughable moments made for a solid sequel which is worth your time. 7.88/10… Expand

It was rapid-fire stupid humor with a few small surprises and decent quality music. It's plot was a bit schizophrenic and not as Amy-centric as a lot of the reviewers made it seem, which I was glad to see. It wasn't very Becca-centric either. If anything, it split its time evenly between them and the new girl, Emily and did an okay job with it.

The only things I would have liked to see were some non-pop songs and perhaps a bit more time spent on them. Otherwise, I can't say I was disappointed. A solid effort and worth watching once, much like the first film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would have liked to see more of Jesse and Becca together in the film, and it would have been amazing if the Bellas teamed up with the Trebel Makers for the final performance against SDM.… Expand

Pitch Perfect 2 May not reach the highs of the previous film, not as good songs or performances. However it never fails to be enjoyable and hilarious, Fat Amy takes the cake here easily.

It's an absolute joy to watch these talented actresses come together once again with some new faces to give incredible musical performances and deliver a seemingly endless stream of jokes.

The plot of the previous movie didn't deviate too far from the standard coming of age story found in most movies aimed at teenagers outside of being set in college and a focus on A cappella. That isn't so much the case here. Elements are familiar, but touch on some more emotional themes.

Moments of sisterhood and vulnerability with and between these characters are the backbone of the whole thing. Their fears about moving on, failing, and being away from the family they created all resonate because of how in love we fell with them in the previous film. That love is only strengthened here.

It's also a very funny movie. Downright hilarious most of the time. Awesome cameos and a wide range of jokes keep the laughs coming, even if it does suffer from the typical comedy sequel flaw of trying to go too big at times. That need to one up itself does lend that all too familiar feeling of trying too hard that sometimes causes it to stumble. However it also leads to some of the film's best and brilliant moments of comedy and heart-warming sweetness. Thanks to talented direction, sharp writing, and a stellar cast this movie succeeds more often than not.

While the planned third movie might be a bit much, the Bellas' second performance is one worth watching. Time will only tell is the magic can be captured three times in a row, but I'm thankful to say that it was captured at least twice.… Expand

I only saw the original on television so cannot fully compare Pitch Perfect 2. I love a capella so that is going to sway me some. The story is okay, the singing performances great. The premise for their probation is silly but not much worseI only saw the original on television so cannot fully compare Pitch Perfect 2. I love a capella so that is going to sway me some. The story is okay, the singing performances great. The premise for their probation is silly but not much worse than projectile vomiting from the first film. I doubt there will be a Pitch Perfect 3 given how this one wraps up. Highlight of this movie has to be the banter between the two announcers. They steal the movie.… Expand

Funnier and even more amusing than Pitch Perfect (2012). Now we have also a focus on Fat Amy and Emily, a new Bella, and they're both quite interesting people for the audience to connect to, besides Beca.

Now we have also a focus on Fat Amy and Emily, a new Bella, and they're both quite interesting people for the audience to connect to, besides Beca. Other characters have a poor exploration but their scenes are mostly enjoyable and entertaining, such as Flo, Lilly, the journalists and Das Sound Machine. Soundtrack maintains the high quality, with other cool mashups and an original song in the end credits. After seeing this, I can fully understand why PP2 was even more successful than the first one. It's much better indeed!… Expand

Pitch Perfect 2 is basically more of the same from Pitch Perfect. If you loved the first then you have only good things to glean from this predecessor.

If you loved the first then you have only good things to glean from this predecessor. I found some of the writing actually more clever than expected, delivered by the show's comedic presence in Rebel Wilson (Fat Amy), Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele), Elizabeth Banks and John Michael Higgins. The one liners in this movie are stellar and function on surprise and a bit of wit (John Higgins' pre-women's rights movement comments are outrageous and hilarious). I rather enjoyed it. If you're not expecting a perfect comedy and have appreciation for acapella performances, you're going to really dig what Pitch Perfect 2 has to offer.… Expand
