Scott reviews “Pitch Perfect 2.”. By Robin Lindsay on Publish Date May 1. The other contestants include the Treblemakers, the Bellas’ male counterparts; a highly disciplined German vocal ensemble and some Green Bay Packers. It’s a single- elimination contest with strict rules, and the first category is Songs About Butts. If the 1. 00- odd minutes of “Pitch Perfect 2,” briskly directed by Elizabeth Banks from a jam- packed script by Kay Cannon, consisted only of that scene, I wouldn’t be disappointed. And if this is what musical comedy looks like on film today, that’s O. K., too: the music is catchy and the jokes connect, even when they’re easy.

You can tell this is a sequel by the occasionally frantic mood and a sense of scale that feels a little off sometimes. Its success has allowed (or perhaps forced) this installment to be bigger, louder and wilder, with new, sometimes redundant characters, celebrity cameos — Snoop Dogg!

Jake Tapper! The Green Bay Packers! Some of the underdog appeal is gone, but a victory lap can be its own kind of fun, and more is not necessarily something to complain about, especially when what there is more of is Fat Amy. Video. Clip: . Obama, becomes an international news story — they set out to sing their way back to the top. They must overcome the skepticism of powerful podcasters (John Michael Higgins and Ms. Banks, playing a variation on her “Hunger Games” smiley- underminer role), dissension in their own ranks and of course those Germans, whose leader is an icily charismatic Valkyrie (Birgitte Hjort Sorensen).

In the case of Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson), that is exactly never, but she and Bumper (Adam Devine) her friend- with- benefits, nonetheless contrive to encounter a bit of love trouble. That’s one story. Another involves Beca (Anna Kendrick), whose commitment to the Bellas is tested by her internship at a record label, a situation that allows Keegan- Michael Key to steal a bunch of scenes as her boss. New Bella blood arrives in the person of Emily (Hailee Steinfeld), who enrolls at Barden with the sole ambition of following in the footsteps of her mother (Katey Sagal) and becoming a Bella. Not to spoil anything, but she does and also gets a romantic subplot of her own, with a tongue- tied crooner played by Ben Platt.
