PITCH PERFECT 2 (2015)

After really liking the first one, I can’t say I wasn’t excited for this thing. In this one the Bella’s are humiliated in a performance for the President and now must win the world championships of acapella against a girl who looks a lot like Billie Piper from Dr. Who and her group from Germany (at least I think they are from Germany). Anna Kendrick (Beca) heads up the Bella’s once again but overall gets a lot of her screen time reduced in favor of Emily "Legacy" (played by Hailee Steinfeld) who basically takes over the role where the most plot is focused. We also get another great performance from Rebel Wilson and Birgitte Hjort Sorensen who I told you guys was simply amazing. Check out my Automata review. Having Alexis Knapp and Hana Mae Lee show up for comedic relief never hurts either. 

Overall we do get an unfortunate lack of singing in this one even to the point where Emily of the Bella’s mentions it. However overall this one just feels a bit more complete and satisfying that the first one. Lilly of the Bella’s is given probably the most interesting lines I have heard in a film of any kind…like ever. 

The most bizarre is probably mentioning (and we don’t know if she’s kidding or not) that all of her teeth are from different people. Yeah…freakin nuts but in a really awesome way because in spite of her lack of dialog, she's one of the coolest characters in this series.

Anyway, I loved this movie and it was a great break from the big blockbusters out there this time of year. At the time this movie came out it kind of felt like a swan song given that all of the Bella's were seniors except for "Legacy" but we did end up getting a 3rd movie.
