'Pitch Perfect 2' was not as good as first. The musical numbers were not as memorable as the first. It simply wasn't as funny as the first. Anna Kendrick showed that she was a good singer though but the film lacked any real story. ★★

Clunky sequel coasts on the cast's chemistry and some fun musical numbers. But definitely a step down from the effortless original.
