It's been three years since the Barden Bellas (Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson) became the first all-female group to win a national title. All seems well until a botched Lincoln Center performance for the president leads to a scandal that strips them of their performing duties, causing internal tension and strife. With the world championships on the horizon in Copenhagen, Denmark, the women must get their act together for their one and only shot at redemption.

Say what you will about the film's wielding of stereotypes -- it genuinely loves its characters. Go to Full Review

What felt like winking cheekiness in the first movie can come across now more like clumsy provocation. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
A cappella isn't something everyone wants to do, as Beca constantly reminds us, but for this kid, it's all she's ever wanted to do. And when Pitch Perfect 2 is at its best, it makes you feel, for just a second, like you want to, too. Go to Full Review

Jose S. @mixedberry Dec 10 The return of the Bellas is a well warranted sequel. The soundtrack expands on its sonic tapestry and with more groups being introduced it creates an awesome atmosphere. My only gripe, and the only reason this movie cannot get its 5th star is Hollywood’s insistence on casting Rebel Wilson in a role where she is supposed to sing or be funny and can do neither. The rest of the cast nails their parts as Rebel continues to stand out like an unsightly sore thumb. Once you move past that, the movie is fun and fantastic.

The first half was a bit meh, but I loved the second half. Fat Amy is an icon and carries these movies. Her solo scene is gold. I prefer the first one, but the humor is better in this one. See more James E 12/01/2024 Good sound design and plenty of celebrity cameos to keep it fun. Decent story and mediocre humor, but entertaining all the same. See more Read all reviews
