Pitch Perfect 2 Movie Review (Movie Critics)
Pitch Perfect 2 tries to fork over many of the pleasures of the first movie without changing them around all that much. 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.Even stronger than its predecessor, which didnt quite go as far in terms of representing these young women in a wider context.Well before it drops a leftfield Sonia Sotomayor joke, its pretty clear Pitch Perfect 2, like its predecessor, isnt an Up With People pep-fest.
A lazy attempt to recreate the little that worked in the first movie that never really justifies the reasoning to make a sequel. Its impossible to complain too much about a film that will leave you humming, quoting or both. The characters might not stray too far from their stereotypes and the jokes might be repetitive, but youre more than likely to leave the theater downloading the soundtrack on your phone.
What endures, however, is the pleasure of a Hollywood movie with a female focus: they not only dominate the cast, but also set the prevailing tone.Still in tune, still somewhat funny, but the thrill for trills is gone. Elizabeth Banks makes a credible directing debut with a riotous, even more female-driven sequel to the 2012 hit
