Pitch Perfect 2

SF: How much did I love the last installment! This was no disappointment, the same zany comedy, brilliant songs and vocal performances. I laughed all the way through and I can't wait for the DVD. Das Sound Machine was a hilarious addition and *spoiler* I now adore the Green Bay Packers. Also Snoop Dog can actually sing. Is this going to be ground breaking now, it is really enjoyable - totally.  Don't miss it.
7.5/10

50Eggs: Watching Pitch Perfect 2 cemented a life lesson for me. It taught me that I do in fact like musicals, and that the reason I have never ever liked one until this series is that they all had rubbish songs. I'm looking at you Chicago, and Les Mis. So you can guess that I enjoyed this film, and personally I would say it's just as good as the first. The songs are still great and, if anything, it's funnier than the first. 8/10

Pitch Perfect

SF: I'll admit it I really enjoyed this film. I wasn't keen on seeing it because I thought that Glee had covered this pretty well (at least in the first two seasons). Ten mins in I find myself starting to like it, about 30 mins in I'm ready to sing along. It is a bit cliche at points and yes chances are you can predict it. Don't watch this if you are looking for a deep and meaningful art house film. This is pure entertainment. It's well paced and keeps you laughing throughout and there is nothing bad about that. I think I like it more than Mean Girls.  Watch out for some great lines from Hana Mae Lee. Also, is it me or does Anna Kendrick have the whitest teeth on earth? 7.5/10

50 Eggs: Ok this is good. Ordinarily I wouldn't go within sniffing distance of a musical, but I very much enjoyed this.  It really is very funny and the music is great - rather than using the normal cheesy ballad style songs we get to hear modern music that will get your toe tapping whether you like it or not. I'd have given this an even higher score if it weren't for the fact that I found the lead character totally unlikable. 8/10

DonkeyB: Lots and lots and lots of fun. It's a feature length episode of Glee. Funny: really, really, really, laugh out loud funny. I was very ready for this film, I was absolutely delighted to see something frothy and entertaining and that is exactly what this is. Even the songs are fun. The most I've smiled in the cinema since The Muppets. 8/10

Overall: 7.85/10
