"Pitch Perfect 2" is a stunningly hilarious sequel to its predecessor, "Pitch Perfect." The movie follows relatively the same plot as the original: It begins with an embarrassing incident involving Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) not wearing underwear, which echoes Aubrey's (Anna Camp) throwing-up fiasco from the first movie, that sets the Barden Bellas into a downward spiral of shame.
In this latest release, the Bellas are attempting to triumph over the innately talented German Das Sound Machine at the world a cappella competition so they can be reinstated as an a cappella group after their membership gets rescinded because of the Fat Amy's incident.
Despite the relatively one-dimensional plot, the movie is studded with witty one-liners and comic accidents that ensure riotous laughter the whole way through. John (John Michael Higgins) and Gail (Elizabeth Banks) return as the offensive-but-can-get-away-with-it hosts; at one point John congratulates the Bellas for being an inspiration to girls everywhere who "are too ugly to be cheerleaders."
At times, the film strayed a little too close to the offensive side with the addition of new character Florencia Fuentes (Chrissie Fit), who would pipe in every once in a while with a pretty racist one-liner relating to her struggles of being an immigrant from Mexico. Her character added a trashy element to the film that it probably could have done without. However, the movie's jokes were overall a great success.
"Pitch Perfect 2" was a witty, entertaining and lighthearted sequel to its first installment and is a must-see for anyone who enjoyed the original. It's not without its flaws, but it's a successful continuation of the story of the Barden Bellas that serves justice to the first movie.
