pitch_perfect_2Reviews for this film from our members:

  • David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
    • Excerpt: The acapella version of D2: The Mighty Ducks, only not as funny.
  • William Bibbiani @ CraveOnline
    • Excerpt: Encore! Encore! And next time, go in the haunted basement!
  • Bill Clark @ From The Balcony
    • Excerpt: What the films have going for them are fun characters and clever writing, both of which keep Pitch Perfect 2 from being a lazy rehash of the original movie.
  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: this is the second female-driven comedy this year that proves women can be as tone deaf as men.
  • Jim Dixon @ Examiner.com
  • Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
    • Excerpt: [I]f a musical can’t even trust the music, what’s the point?
  • Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
    • Excerpt: ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ is perfectly enjoyable in spite of boasting an inferior soundtrack and being somewhat less fun than the original.
  • Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
    • Excerpt: Silly and sassy, going for slicker, sharper sequel sisterhood…
  • Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: It’s the music that propels this retread into a must see experience.
  • Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
    • Excerpt: Whether you go for the laughs, the singing, or because your girlfriend makes you, I have a hunch you will walk out of the theater realizing you just had a good time for the past two hours – even if you were secretly rooting for Das Sound Machine
  • Ben Kendrick @ Screen Rant
    • Excerpt: Pitch Perfect 2 will sate its target audience – though that audience may have trouble sharing the movie with casual comedy lovers.
  • Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
    • Excerpt: For a sequel that can’t be the mic-drop the original was, “Pitch Perfect 2” is more than copacetic for those who still find themselves quoting the first one. If you liked it the first time, you’ll probably like it again.
  • Kristin Dreyer Kramer @ NightsAndWeekends.com
  • Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
  • Ross Miller @ Thoughts On Film
    • Excerpt: Pitch Perfect 2 can be labelled as somewhat of a disappointment, purely because it lacks the first film’s certain X factor magical quality and follows a path that’s far more predictable this time around. However, there’s still plenty to enjoy here particularly for die-hard fans of the last film who, let’s face it, are going to be making up much of the audience.
  • Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge
  • [New – 10/1/15] | Jared Mobarak @ BuffaloVibe
  • Stefan Pape @ HeyUGuys
  • Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
    • Excerpt: The first Pitch Perfect was a surprise hit with both critics and audiences back in 2012, and for better or worse this is roughly the same movie. Anyone looking for further development of these characters might be disappointed, but if you’re content with an if-it-ain’t-broke re-hash of what worked the first time around you shouldn’t be disappointed here.
  • Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
    • Excerpt: No geral é um filme que se vê bem se estivermos com o modo crítico desligado e se tivermos tido uma agradável vida universitária.
  • Amir Siregar @ Amir at the Movies [Indonesian]
  • Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
    • Excerpt: Feels tired and off-key, a bungled attempt to recapture the modest charms of its overrated predecessor.
  • Sarah Ward @ Concrete Playground
