Pitchperfect full movie12/28/2023 ![]() The photo was taken at a joint birthday party for Camp and her husband (and "Pitch Perfect" co-star!) Skylar Astin. Brittany Snow captioned hers " 4 thumbs down." She captioned the photo with four hearts.Ĭamp posted the same photo on Instagram, also with four hearts, as did Fit. Rebel Wilson (Fat Amy) tweeted a photo with co-stars Brittany Snow (Chloe), Anna Camp (Aubrey) and Chrissie Fit (Flo), all holding up four fingers. The one element of “Pitch Perfect” that this new film can’t provide is surprise if you’re willing to forfeit discovery in favor of some breezy déjà vu, however, “Pitch Perfect 2” is totally playing your song.Social media posts from the cast of "Pitch Perfect" have fans speculating over the possibility of a fourth installment to the musical franchise. Lo's 'Booty' in New 'Lip Sync Battle' Trailer (Video) Lucky for Becca, new Bella legacy Emily ( Hailee Steinfeld) writes her own music, despite the fact that anything that isn’t a cover is anathema to the a cappella world.Įven though that numeral in the title threatens to weigh down “Pitch Perfect 2,” director Banks and returning screenwriter Kay Cannon find something unexpected and funny for each scene, whether it’s an overwrought duet for Fat Amy and her love interest Bumper (Adam Devine), an unexpected cameo by professional athletes, or the rigorous precision of Das Sound Machine, whose stern leaders Komissar (Birgitte Hjort Sørenson) and Pieter (Flula Borg) leave Beca so sexually flummoxed that she can’t even trash-talk them. Plot-wise, that’s pretty much it, except for Beca ( Anna Kendrick) tuning out of the Bellas’ problems by interning at a record label whose owner, played by Keegan-Michael Key, takes time out from producing a Snoop Dogg Christmas album to tell Becca to knock it off with the mash-ups already and start creating something original.

We open with the Bellas enjoying their reputation as three-time national champs until an unfortunate mishap at Kennedy Center involving live television, the President of the United States, and a Fat Amy wardrobe malfunction. “Pitch Perfect 2” serves it all up again, with just enough flashes of absurdist wit, musical brio and new characters to keep this serviceably fun follow-up from going down like a plate of lukewarm leftovers.

Or when commentators John (John Michael Higgins) and Gail ( Elizabeth Banks, also directing this time) said outrageous and inappropriate things? Or the outsized confidence of Fat Amy ( Rebel Wilson) or the weird, whispered non sequiturs of Lily (Hana Mae Lee) or the Type-A freakouts of Chloe (Brittany Snow) or the interchangability and lack of screen time of Jessica (Kelley Jakle) and Ashley (Shelley Regner)? For better or for worse, that’s the spot where “Pitch Perfect 2” lands. Somewhere in the middle, you get second chapters that pretty much tell you the same jokes again, but with enough new spins and angles and reversals that you wind up entertained and amused, even though you miss that sense of discovery and novelty. In the world of sequels, there are those rare exceptions where the second movie improves on the first, and there are those all too common continuations that waste your time and threaten to make you forget why you ever liked their predecessors.
