Really, really disappointing.

Rating: 5/10 (24 May 2015)

I absolutely loved the first movie. It was laugh out loud funny, the music was great, and the story line was good. I was really excited to hear that they were making a sequel and couldn't wait to see it. Oh was I disappointed. I hate to say it, but the music didn't move me (other than the last couple songs), I hated the story, and other than a couple chuckles, I certainly didn't find most of it very funny. The attempts at humor were so bad that I really question if they used the same writers or for budgeting reasons, hired some kids from a high school. Not only were these "jokes" not funny, but there were many times when I cringed at the dialog and felt sorry for the actors having to deliver the lines... especially for Becca in those awkward scenes with the woman from the German group. That was just stupid.
I really wanted to love this movie but ended up just wanting my money back. To me the only redeeming parts of the movie were the final scenes with the 2 rival groups performing. Those were really the only musical numbers that look like someone spent some time on the music and choreography. The rest were just thrown together and certainly nothing special.
