An Excruciatingly Bad Film

Rating: 2/10 (24 October 2015)

I loved Pitch Perfect -- but this film is a huge disappointment. There are a few decent laughs, but the musical numbers are overproduced and bombastic, and the script is simple minded and simply bad. I was embarrassed for the actors. This was a huge waste of some major talents and a missed opportunity to build on the themes that made the original film popular. If you liked Pitch Perfect, stay away from this film. If you did not like Pitch Perfect, you will not like this film either. If you never saw Pitch Perfect, go watch it and forget this film. Do not be fooled by teasers promising performances by serious a cappella groups like Pentatonix. They get only a few seconds of screen time -- It hurts to watch this film.
