Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) 7/10

Starring : Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Hailee Steinfeld, Brittany Snow, Skylar Astin, Adam DeVine, Katey Sagal, Anna Camp, Ben Platt
Director : Elizabeth Banks
Running Time : 115 mins

Following an embarrassing performance that resulted in Fat Amy (Wilson) showing off her lady parts to the world, the Barden Bellas are banned from the acapella circuit which they’d been fronting. In order to regain their former position in musical society, they must win an international title, something no American team has ever managed to achieve.

This starts off slowly, and feels like it’s about to go the way of Glee after the first season, but thankfully this picks itself back up, dusts itself off, and makes for a likeable sequel. There’s thankfully not too much focus on any one character, though Fat Amy gets more focus than most, so we are actually given some more character development for most of the leads, and not just one or two. Well worth watching if you like the first movie.
