Clunky sequel coasts on the cast's chemistry and some fun musical numbers. But definitely a step down from the effortless original.

'Pitch Perfect 2' was not as good as first. The musical numbers were not as memorable as the first. It simply wasn't as funny as the first. Anna Kendrick showed that she was a good singer though but the film lacked any real story.

★★

Improves towards the end, but for the most part 'Pitch Perfect 2' is a disappointing sequel.

I wouldn't say it's anything bad, but even soon after viewing I am struggling to remember any good moments from it. I found the cast and music to be the big plus points to 'Pitch Perfect', though both of those things are off in this follow-up.

Anna Kendrick (Beca) doesn't really do anything, at least very little that's even close to being memorable. Skylar Astin (Jesse) takes a back seat, which I don't actually think is a negative. Adam Devine (Bumper) and Rebel Wilson (Fat Amy)... read the rest.

Now it's senior year in college and the group gets kicked out of the competition. Now they have to figure out a way to compete. Not as good as the first but I think this one is funnier than the first.
