Anna Kendrick is lovable, she is very sweet, very sexy and very cute. And yes, all of the main heroes have excellent voices. Then, the music is cool, there are snippets of numerous outstanding melodies and awesome vocal arrangements (although, way too often acapella suddenly turns into a full-blown instrumental backing, which left me quite puzzled and bemused). Other ladies are sweet and attractive, too. Well, that's it. As for the movie - million times you've seen this endless saga of past success-turned-fiasco-turned-newbie-turned- growing pains-turned-long way to the top-turned-in the end everything's gonna be alright. You will see nothing new here. What is really awful ( and I mean this - really really poor) is this absolutely low-level racial-cultural stereotyping of the worst kind. I was shocked and saw in utter amazement those shameful caricatures of certain peoples. Silly, in the weakest manner said. The rest is just a forgettable, passable, liquid junk of silliest kind. It all is underdeveloped and lacking real depth. It's not even realistic or funny, to say the least. Music here gets 4 points, as there are many bad and schlock schmaltzy tunes, but the movie deserves nothing. It is so badly bad.

Pitch Perfect 2 what a load of crap. I can't understand how this movie get a franchise, a third movie is coming out soon. The first pitch perfect was terrible, this second part is almost as bad. Rebel Wilson is NOT funny. Anna Kendrick is lost in this movie. Hailey Steinfield is injected for some blood but couldn't save the show.2/10 cos it's just a little better than the first one and that is an awful 1/10.

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.

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.
