The Bella's Are BACK

Disclaimer; This post may contain small spoilers.

"The Bella's are back, and they are better than ever. After being humiliated in front of none other than the President of the United States of America, the Bella's are taken out of the Aca-Circuit. In order to clear their name and regain their status, the Bella's take on a seemingly impossible task: winning an International competition no American team has ever won. In order to accomplish this monumental task, they need to strengthen the bonds of friendship and sisterhood, and blow away the competition with their amazing aca-magic! With all new friends and old rivals tagging along for the trip, the Bella's can hopefully accomplish their dreams once again."

That's right Aca-b*tches. The Barden Bella's are back for a second movie and are ready to have you singing along.

Hands down Pitch Perfect is one of my favourite movies by far...I even went to see it twice at the cinema. And after some pretty stressful exams, a trip to the cinema had to be planned. 

It could be said that the story line is pretty identical to the first with new twists. There are new characters such as Bella legacy Emily Junk and Das Sound Machine as well as the return of characters who would have graduated or left in the last movie; Aubrey Posen and Bumper Allen. One thing that did disappoint me was how littler there was of Skylar Astin aka Jesse, he's there at the beginning preforming as the lead of the Treblemakers but shortly disappears and only reappears with Benji when the Bella's are smashing it at the worlds. 

Beca no longer works at the Radio Station and is instead interning for a music producer which she tries to impress with the mash-up we heard in the first movie. After being given a second chance to show her skills Beca asks singer songwriter Emily if she would like to collaborate on something. Queue ultra-catchy song about a flashlight which features throughout the movie.
Talking of music, pretty much everything is a mash-up bar a few songs and Cups is back. But this time sung round a campfire as part of the Bella's finding their sound again at Aubrey's outdoor summer-type camp. Speaking of which actually looks like it would be so much fun! 
There are a few more romances this time; Beca and Jesse are still together, Benji takes an interest in the new Bella and of course there is something going on between Bumper and Fat Amy. In any other movie this would be typical and so cheesy/cringey...Bumper confesses his love for Fat Amy in an incredibly romantic way which completely contrasts with his character traits. However, after pouring his heart out and shedding some tears everything doesn't as planned...until later. 
After a mash-up emphasising the power of women, back is the song about the flashlight. The stage falls to darkness with a single spot light on Beca which grows as more of the Bella's join in with the song. As the chorus kicks in so does the lights and cheers. The Bella's we have followed in the movie are joined on stage by generations of past Bella's to celebrate them competing in the World's.

Have you see the Pitch Perfect 2 yet? Are are you planning on going soon? If you get the chance, definitely go!
