    Pitch Perfect 2

    Reviewed by

    I saw Pitch Perfect 2 before a lot of people I know who were eagerly anticipating it, so naturally I was asked "how was it? " I gave my honest answer: Pitch Perfect 2 is just as good as the first Pitch Perfect. What separated the original film from most other modern teen/college comedies was its quick wit, dialogue that worked well with the characters, and characters that worked well with each other. The filmmakers knew what they were doing with the property, because with this second installment they kept elements from the first movie, without allowing it to become stale. Despite a lack of surprise (the movie plays out pretty much how you would expect), the movie entertains. Like an episode of the Simpsons - a good episode, not what the series has become - Pitch Perfect 2 blends smart, witty humor with dumb jokes. But even the "dumb" scenes gave hints at the intelligence behind them, and that is what makes the movie particularly funny. Large ensemble casts can be tricky to pull off, as some of the characters will usually be pushed to the side while others are given the spotlight. Anna Kendrick is still the lead actor, the cast around her is not ignored, and everyone is given a "shining moment" in the film. On the other side of the fence, some of the jokes don't work (but if there are 100 jokes and 20% aren't funny, you still are laughing 80 times), and Pitch Perfect 2 doesn't do anything to "convert" you if you aren't already a fan. It is entertaining and funny, and if you are a fan, you are going to enjoy this movie.
