If you liked "Pitch Perfect," Don't Waste Your Time

Rating: 2/10 (16 May 2015)

I wish I'd never seen this. It sullied my memory of "Pitch Perfect", which I loved. I wish I could grab back the two hours I wasted watching this turkey. "The Godfather Part 2" it ain't.
The only reason I've given it two stars is for a couple of funny lines and the fact that they persuaded all the actors to come back.
Elizabeth Banks, who had a small but funny role in the original as one of the contest commentators, apparently decided she wanted to direct the sequel. (As she had the rights to the original book, she can do what she wants.)
Never underestimate the ego of an actress or actor. Banks' has pumped up her role and basically sucked the life out of the rest of the film by cutting performances in favor of a ponderous plot (recording studio, weird scene when some guy holds an acapella contest in his house,) and unbelievable "love story"between Bumper and Fat Amy that wasn't even hinted at in "PP." Even the songs that are featured aren't on the same level as those in the original.
It's horrible. Don't waste your time. Just remember "Pitch Perfect" as the perfect little movie it was.
