After a humiliating command performance at Lincoln Center, the Barden Bellas enter an international competition that no American group has ever won in order to regain their status and right to perform.
Director: Elizabeth Banks
Stars: Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Hailee Steinfeld, Brittany Snow
The Buzz: I'd be lying if I said I was in the key demographic for the first Pitch Perfect; I didn't bother seeing it until well after its theatrical release. As many others also discovered, though, the musical comedy turned out to be absolutely infectious. Unless you actually physically have somewhere else to be, it's quite difficult to turn this off when it's on TV (you might even call it "aca-addicting").
The sequel appears to be a strong continuation of the first. It returns most of the original's cast - including the absolutely delightful Anna Kendrick - and seems to retain that movie's self-aware sense of humor. It also appears to have some fun cameos (apparently the Green Bay Packers are a cappella fans?). After making tons of fans on home video, look for the sequel to make much, much more than the first movie's $65 million. - Ray Subers
