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.

Critics Consensus

Pitch Perfect 2 sings in sweet comedic harmony, even if it doesn't hit quite as many high notes as its predecessor.

Baltimore Magazine

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

Rated: 3/4

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

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

Elizabeth Banks takes the director's chair this time around and brings forth a worthy sequel to 2012's aca-amazing hit a decade later it may not match the success of the original but it has plenty to offer on its own I was shockingly laughing so much harder this time around more than the first film and it only added to the fun of it all this time the Bardon Bellas are on their A-game but an embarassing performance gone wrong gets them revoked of their title so they are left with barely anything resembling what they love doing there's a chance though for them to make it back on top when they decide to compete in a global acapella championship against bigger and better groups Becca also goes on her own to produce her own music and thinking about what will go away after graduation I liked the new players including Hailee Steinfeld being the daughter of a former Bella wanting to be her own and not just a mother's successor even though she arrives at a bad time in the Bellas' lives the acapella songs here are way more inducing and toe-tapping and there's so many crazy cameos! theres even an additional romantic subplot that humorously works its way in the pitch is back indeed as are the laughs and zaniness :)

An amazing sequel! 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.

Good sound design and plenty of celebrity cameos to keep it fun. Decent story and mediocre humor, but entertaining all the same.
