Did you love the Riff Off in the pool? It’s back, including the return of the Treblemakers, with the addition of … the Green Bay Packers (yes actual players from the NFL football team who were such huge fans of the first film they begged to be in the second)!.
Did you love the split screen music or training montages? They’re back!.Pitch Perfect 2 is a predictable affair, a paint-by-numbers of things that made the first a hit: (I wonder if Emily’s original song “Flashlight” (written for the screen by the likes of Sia and Sam Smith) will appear in the finale? Another spoiler alert: yes.) Cue an hour of foreshadowing and being told that a cappella groups are only supposed to do covers. Luckily, Emily’s mom was a Bella back in the ’70s, so through a legacy loophole Emily becomes the only new recruit, showing off her vocal talents with (gasp!) an orignial song. Meanwhile, incoming freshmen Emily Junk ( Hailee Steinfeld)-her mother’s maiden name, her dad’s last name is Hardon-wants nothing more than to be a Bella, but the group can’t hold auditions due to their suspension. Can she balance her dreams and those of the Bellas? Spoiler alert: yes. Tightly wound second-in-command Chloe ( Brittany Snow), who by the way has failed enough classes to be entering her seventh year of college in order to stay with the Bellas, wants the ladies to practice practice practice in order to beat their international competition (an over-the-top-accented German supergroup Das Sound Machine), but our heroine Beca ( Anna Kendrick) has her future in mind and starts a secret internship at a major music label. Rebel Wilson is hilarious as ever in the sequel to Pitch Perfect.
