Not Acapella

Rating: 1/10 (9 September 2015)

Pitch Perfect 2 is a music film sequel to Pitch Perfect (2012). It portrays the Barden Bellas, an all female acapella group, who must redeem themselves in the world championship after a performance gone wrong.
I entered the theater with low expectations. Still, I was disappointed by this movie. The story was so so, nothing extraordinary. Some of the characters were underdeveloped. I can't even remember some of the girls of this small acapella group as their presence does not contribute to the betterment of this film whatsoever.
Even worse is that the comedy aspect of this film is just bad. Most of the time they try too hard to be funny.
And lastly, what I dislike most about this film is that they did not even try to make it look like acapella. Everyone in their group is singing. One has to wonder where the background music comes from. They could have used non vocal music and make someone perform lip-sync. That's not too much to ask, is it?
Although this film is mediocre at best, I have to say that it's still cool to see all those people that made their cameo appearances.
