The Bellas are back, and they are better than ever. After being humiliated in front of none other than the President of the United States of America, the Bellas are taken out of the Aca-Circuit. In order to clear their name, and regain their status, the Bellas take on a seemingly impossible task: winning an international competition no American team has ever won. In order to accomplish this monumental task, they need to strengthen the bonds of friendship and sisterhood and blow away the competition with their amazing aca-magic! With all new friends and old rivals tagging along for the trip, the Bellas can hopefully accomplish their dreams.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
MartinHafer I was quite shocked when I saw and enjoyed "Pitch Perfect". After all, I am in my 50s and not exactly the demographic they were going for in the film. So, because of this, I then decided to try "Pitch Perfect II"...and I did enjoy the film, though not quite as much as the first film. Much of it was due to Jessica Kendrick's character...who just didn't seem anything like the sweet lady from the first movie.The film begins with the a capella group at the very top of the world. They are performing on television at the Kennedy Center for the President! However, due to a horrific wardrobe malfunction, the group goes from the darlings of America to hated jerks. The film is about how the girls somehow manage to overcome this AND take on the dreaded German group, DSM at the international championship in Copenhagen.The best thing about the film was also a big plus in the first movie--the inane commentary by the two announcers (Elizabeth Banks and John Michael Higgens)...especially Higgens. As for Banks, it wasn't like she was a slouch, as she also directed and co-produced the movie! I also enjoyed seeing many of the familiar characters from the other films...aside from Kendricks', who seemed inexplicably self-centered and grouchy. For this reason alone, I think the original is a tad better....but they are both still very watchable.
dboyd7022001 This doofuspoofus should be ignored strictly because of the name (seeing as it's more gay than Harry Potter!) This movie might not be as good as the first (nothing ever is) but it was sure close! It contains new and old songs so it's got something for all ages! I love the fact that they compete against all different groups in the riff-off because it shows that you don't have to be a certain age/race/strictly into music to have a good voice. Not sure if there are pillow fights in college but it did show they still knew how to have fun when they are NOT singing. Probably the most annoying part of the movie is the back and forth of Bumper and "Fat Amy" because it was overdone. My favorite part was the end performance when all the Bella alums came out and the part (as shown in the previews) where "Fat Patricia/Amy" slides down the stairs! Also, you have to love all the guest stars and cameos! For this to have an overall rating below all the Harry Potter movies is absurd! If you rate this movie anything below a 7, you have a bad taste in movies.
lisafordeay Pitch Perfect 2 is directed by Elizabeth Banks who also produces and stars in this movie where the Bellas(formed by Brittany Snow,Anna Kendricks,Rebel Wilson and co)are hosting a show in front of President Barackk Obama and his wife Michelle when Fat Amy(Wilson)makes a show of the group and they are forced to drop out as they are now suspended and been taken over by a new German group who threatens their career. So the Bellas stumbles across a new girl played by Hailee Steinfield who wanted to audition with the Bellas since her mother(played by Kathy Segel from 8 Simple Rules)used to be a Bella herself and Steinfield wanted to make her mom proud. So will the Bellas win their status back again from the new group?Overall I really enjoyed this movie,the music segments were great,the actors did a good job,Rebel Wilson is litreally the next big thing to come out of this film she's funny entertaining and she always refers to herself as Australian(since she is an Aussie). The rest of the film is very similar to the original one and both films are very good. If you are a fan of Glee then check it out.Be sure to keep an eye out for a cameo by Snopp Dogg and David Cross.
manuelwinchester 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.
