Out of Tune

Rating: 4/10 (26 October 2015)

(Rating: ☆☆ out of 4)
This film is not recommended.
In brief: Off-key
GRADE: C
Perfect Pitch 2 is slightly better than the original, only slightly. That is as much of a compliment I can give to this silly and dumb sequel. The film again brings the world of a cappella center stage and has non-stop vocal mash-ups that are suppose to entertain, but don't. ￼ Most of the actors reprise their roles to a lesser effect, especially Rebel Wilson playing Fat Amy, who is totally unfunny and unappealing this time around. Anna Kendrick and Hallie Steinfeld bring their individual charm to their parts as the main duo of the Barden College's Bellas. But it is only Elizabeth Banks, the film's director, and John Michael Higgins that bring real laughs and some major wit to their minor parts. Other actors in minor roles may have earned their paycheck but not the laughs from Kay Cannon's desperate screenplay. ￼ Perfect Pitch 2 lacks harmony and tries to celebrate woman's empowerment without much power. It's basically tone deaf.
