Pitch Perfect 2
After falling from grace in an ill fated performance at Lincoln Center the Barden Bellas, a college A cappella group, must fight to find their way to the top of their game and re-gain their right to perform once again; Meanwhile, the imposing and perfect German group Das Sound Machine will prove to be a formidable opponent, will the Bellas have what it takes to overcome?
First time Director but known actress Elizabeth Banks is at the helm this go round in what can best be described as the wicked and sharp comedy sequel that pulls no punches. Bringing back Ensemble favorites such as Rebel Wilson, Anna Kendrick, and Brittany Snow, there’s little change in plot time through. But, with more cameo appearances from musical/comedic legends than one can shake a stick at, Flula Borg, Reggie Watts, Keegan-Michael Key, Snoop, the list goes on, there’s plenty to stay on the alert for. Sadly, like most comedic sequels, Pitch Perfect 2 does seem to fall into the same pitfalls as almost all who’ve gone before it, a repetition of material, but louder and with less result. Most likely a rental later Pitch Perfect 2 is rated PG-13.
