Check out my FULL Pitch Perfect 2 Review on my website (link on profile page).
It's been roughly three years since the first Pitch Perfect debuted in theaters, and it's tough to name another comedy released since that can match its quirkiness and originality. Thus, when a sequel was green-lit, the bar was set about as high as a soprano's vocal range. My dilemma was this: how do you recreate such an original concept and differ it enough from the original to not appear redundant? How many weird Fat Amy one-liners can an audience really laugh at until it becomes jaded? Most importantly, will another movie focusing on acapella music appeal to a global audience for the second time in five years? The short answer is, "yes;" the long answer is, "yes, because when you can make acapella music sound this good, anything is possible."
Pitch Perfect 2 begins almost exactly like its predecessor, with our beloved Barden Bellas humiliating themselves in a performance (only this one involves President Obama)...
