What is Pitch Perfect 2 About?
“Pitch Perfect 2” follows the next journey of the Barden Bellas after they won the ICCA thrice since the first film. This time, their story starts off with their newfound success, so much so that they are asked to perform for U.S. President Barack Obama on his birthday. Unfortunately, they give an embarrassing performance as Fat Amy undergoes a rather indecent accident. Because of this, the Bellas are suspended from competing in the year’s ICCA, and can only regain their status by winning the A Cappella World Championship. To achieve this seemingly impossible feat, the Bellas must come together and rediscover their sound amid arguments and differences in priorities. They face fierce competition from a formidable German a cappella group called Das Sound Machine. Though seemingly impossible, they overcome all challenges with a little help from their friends.
“Pitch Perfect 2” was released in 2015, preceded by “Pitch Perfect” and followed by “Pitch Perfect 3.”

- Little White Lies: “It may be calculated, but it gets the best out of a talented cast. And with a surfeit of charm and some killer wit muddled in, it’ll surely win you over by the first big number.”
- Vox: “A cappella isn’t something everyone wants to do, as Beca constantly reminds us, but for this kid, it’s all she’s ever wanted to do. And when Pitch Perfect 2 is at its best, it makes you feel, for just a second, like you want to, too.”
