It's been three years since the Barden Bellas became the first all-female group to win a national title. All seems well until a botched Lincoln Center performance for the president leads to a scandal that strips them of their performing duties, causing internal tension and strife. With the world championships on the horizon in Copenhagen, Denmark, the women must get their act together for their one and only shot at redemption.

Critics Consensus

Pitch Perfect 2 sings in sweet comedic harmony, even if it doesn't hit quite as many high notes as its predecessor.

3/4

Say what you will about the film's wielding of stereotypes -- it genuinely loves its characters.

What felt like winking cheekiness in the first movie can come across now more like clumsy provocation.

A cappella isn't something everyone wants to do, as Beca constantly reminds us, but for this kid, it's all she's ever wanted to do. And when Pitch Perfect 2 is at its best, it makes you feel, for just a second, like you want to, too.

This movie starts off really badly. I almost didn't finish it. But I kept watching and about two-thirds of the way through, it turned from really bad to really good. I only advise this movie for those who loved the first or are really into musicals. If you choose to watch, just give it time. It does become good after a lot of bad.

Good, doesn't miss a step from the original. Love the new cast and the plot is silly, but fun. The commentators don't age well, but not a big deal, they are intended to offend anyway.

Pitch Perfect 2 is a loud, confident, and genuinely fun sequel that fully embraces its musical-comedy roots. Rather than reinventing the formula, the film doubles down on high-energy performances, sharp humor, and over-the-top moments that make it an easy crowd-pleaser. The addition of Hailee Steinfeld brings fresh energy and a new perspective that blends well with the returning cast. The music is creative and entertaining, with strong mashups and a memorable original song that helps the sequel stand on its own. Rebel Wilson delivers some of her funniest moments here, landing jokes that genuinely work, while Elizabeth Banks continues to shine with her quick wit and confidence. Written by Kay Cannon, the screenplay keeps things light, fast, and playful without dragging. While it doesn’t hit the emotional depth of the first film, Pitch Perfect 2 succeeds by knowing exactly what it is: a fun, unapologetic musical sequel that matches the original’s entertainment value and delivers
