Pitch Perfect 2

"Reprising the kind of musical performances, campus hijinks, stinging humor and sassy sisterhood put in place by its eminently likeable predecessor, Pitch Perfect 2 remixes the elements and comes up with something even slicker and sharper" 

"There are a half-dozen hilarious scenes, the Barden Bellas' new nemesis is awesomely weird, and you could hardly find a more endearing group of college students played by 30-year-old actresses (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)" 

"While just a jot less fun than its predecessor, Pitch Perfect 2 is a worthy sequel in tone, even if the story feels padded with a few too many montages (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)" 

"A spirited sequel (...) In her feature debut Banks shows all the right moves, bringing fizz to the tiredest clichés and reveling in a screen full of musical girl power. She's a Bella, indeed (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"


 

"Elizabeth Banks makes a credible directing debut with a riotous, even more female-driven sequel to the 2012 hit" 

"Pitch Perfect 2 follows the same template as part one, but it’s unmemorable. The highlights again are the a cappella covers of various pop songs, but there are fewer of them, and the performances aren’t as strong (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)" 

"The comedy choir wars are more intense, more absurd and more lowbrow fun than ever in Pitch Perfect 2. It is almost impossible not to be amused by the cutthroat world of competitive a cappella"
