Review.

Thanks to this a-ca-pact I've almost had a Pitch Perfect weekend. The sequel to Pitch Perfect is something I would usually look at and say "Oh God, not another, I hate musicals with fancy and rap and pop songs." But since I like the cast I decide to watch the first one on ABC family on Sunday, and much to my surprise I thought it was great and now the sequel is upon us, so how is it?

The film takes place three years after the events of the first film and The Bellas are household popular names. They do a performance singing for the president when suddenly(much like in the first film) something embarrassing happens and they see Fat Amy's uterus. Their carriers as Bella's could be destroyed but they plan to win the world championships to restore their name.

The film does achieve it's goal with being an entertaining sequel, and I dare say it's as good as the first not better just as good. They have a larger cast but a few bumps with an unfocused narrative. Theirs a story-line with Becca at an internship trying to prove some sense worth to the company, Fat Amy and Bumper have got a thing going and the side stories just don't flow that well. The film in itself does have a good enough plot though.

The performances from our leading ladies is just as great as the first film, and they have a new added member in the form of Haliene Steinfield. who I adore in this movie, she was such a great addition to the film.

Who knows if their going to make a third film but with great acting, good music, and fun beats Pitch Perfect soars with a pitch. I'm giving Pitch Perfect 2 a four out of five.
