Pitch Perfect 2

Pitch Perfect 2

Rating 8 out of 10

I enjoyed the first Pitch Perfect.  Not as much as my teenage son or my movie buddy Ted, but I liked it.  I didn't (and still don't) think one of the main characters, Fat Amy, was nearly as funny as everyone else did.  I do like the singing and synchronized moves all the groups make.

With Pitch Perfect 2 we join the ladies four years later.  Now most are seniors at the now famous Barton College.  The ladies have won the US Acapella Championships three years in a row.  When they are invited to do a show in front of the president there is disaster when Fat Amys pant's split and no underwear. They are banned from the US Championships and the only way to redeem themselves is to win the World Championships which no US team has ever done.  Rocket science it's not.

The song choices are spot on for the most part.  Dancing is good.  Just a fun way to blow a couple hours.  For me the absolute highlight of the movie is John Michael Higgins and Elizabeth Banks as the two commentators that constantly had me rolling with their un-PC comments.  "Acapella is for those girls not pretty enough to be cheerleaders".

I was entertained.  I would say a tick below the first one yet still worth watching.  My hot date sang every word and bounced in her seat to where I was afraid we we be asked to leave.  That was fun to watch too.
