Directed by: Elizabeth Banks

Memorable quotes:

John: What an inspiration to girls all over the country who are too ugly to be cheerleaders.

John: She may have to do that backflip right back over the fence into Mexico.
Gail: I think she is Guatemalan.
John: Oh, none of that matters.

Gail: There's so much going on on stage I don't even know where to look.

John: An overweight girl dangling from the ceiling, who hasn't had that dream?
Gail: Lots of us!

John: She has no underwear on. We have a commando situation. There is a commando situation on stage!

John: She is turning. She is turning. Brace yourselves!

Barden University Secretary: The Dean is ready for you tramps.

Barden University Dean: Ladies, you have dragged the good name of Barden university into the gutter. And you have really upset these people whose name I have already forgotten.

John: Your little southern exposure in front of our commander in chief has irreparably damaged the entire institution of a cappella.

John: The truth is... you are all women and you're all gonna get pregnant soon.

Katherine: I'm gonna be your mother and your sister!
Emily: Gross!

John: How do you fit such big dreams into such a small body?

Gail: No American team has ever won.
John: That's because they hate us!
Gail: The whole world!
John! The whole world hates us!

Fat Amy: Chloe don't blame yourself. You're a ginger that's punishment enough.

Chloe: If we don't win the Bellas are over. This is the biggest challenge any of us have ever faced.
Flo: When I was nine years old my brother tried to sell me for a chicken, so...

Stacie: I will do whoever it takes to get back to the top.
Fat Amy: You mean whatever it takes..
Stacie: Yeah I'll do that too.

Benji: I just have to say you're so spirited. I...I just wanna put you in a box and saw you in half.

Fat Amy: How good can they be?  Germany hasn't produced a good singer since David Hasselhoff. We're gonna crush them.

Emily: I'm Emily...Junk! I know it's weird. My dad's last name is hard on, so...

Chloe: Show us what you got.
Emily: Right now? Right here? Right here right now. Yeah, okay. I'd like to perform an original song that I've been working on. I'm not quite finished with it though so let's not be dicks about it.

Emily: Amy you have a lovely vagina.
Fat Amy: Thank you. Proceed.

Chloe: She's really good. Can't we take her?
Fat Amy: What do you expect us to say? She is right there.

Stacie: Let's get into some treble!

Fat Amy: Fat Amy is back! Cause I never left, cause I'm still here!

Emily: Hi!
Beca: Hi.
Emily: I am so excited to meet the woman who single handedly created the Bella's sound. We're sisters! I can't believe we're sisters!

Kommissar: Barden Bella. You came here to see us. Is that because you are... what do the American kids say... jelly?
Chloe: We are so not jelly.
Kommissar: We should really thank you for making this tour a reality.

Kommissar: You... You are the kicker of ass?
Beca: Yeah.
Kommissar: You are so tiny. Like an elf. Or is it a fairy?

Kommissar: You are like a troll.
Beca: You are physically flawless.
Kommissar: Thank you.
Beca: But it doesn't mean I like you.

Pieter: Your team is like a heated mess. A mess where heat is applied to it so what once was a little mess is even messier.

Kommissar: Darlings, please take my advice. Don't try to beat us. You can't. We are the best. And now I really must rest my neck. It is sore from looking down on you.
Beca: Okay, just because you are making me sexually confuse does not mean that you are intimidating. We have nothing to lose! We have literally nothing to lose! Auf Wiedersehen bitches!

Chloe: Ladies, focus up. We need to beat those German dummkopf.

Fat Amy: Legacy, don't take this the wrong way, but you are the dumbest person alive.

Snoop Dogg: It better be a tech thing. The way I sound on my eardrums, this is immaculate man.

Beca's boss: You can sing.
Beca: Yeah, I'm like a three time collegial a cappella champion so both huge successes in our fields.
Beca's boss: Yeah, let's say that.

Chloe: There is only an address and a password.
Fat Amy: How sexy and mysterious.

Barden Bella: Anyone else scared?
Flo: Not really. I already lived longer than I expected.

Riff-Off Host: That was rude! You do not come to a gentleman's house and touch his goose.

Fat Amy: If you do wanna share something with me, your best friend, I'm a great keeper of secrets. I'm like a safe that locks with a key. And the key is stashed up my bum.

Fat Amy: Come on Beca, you know how we do that thing every month where I take 20 dollars of your purse and you pretend not to notice. I saw your ID badge in your bag. Don't be mad.
Beca: I'm not mad. I'm not mad actually about the badge. The money though I wanna come back to.

Fat Amy: You're the most talented person I know and I've met three of the Wiggles...intimately. Beca, don't you know how awesome you are? You're Beca effing Mitchell. You're the big BM. That's you. You're awesome. Do you need some of my confidence cause I could turn mine down a notch.

Flo: Sure. Blame the minority!
Cynthia Rose: I'm black, gay and a woman.

Chloe: At times like this, there is only one thing to do.
Flo: Fake your own death and leave the country?
Chloe: Close. We are going on a retreat.

Aubrey: When I realized I had a knack for barking orders and binding people's will I made a career out of it.

Flo: I don't understand camping. We're voluntarily living like dogs.

Fat Amy: She says she is Asian Jesus.

Aubrey: Okay, that was two steps away from being almost fine.

Fat Amy: Listen, I don't want you guys to fight. You're Beca and Blowey. Together you're Blowey. And everyone loves a good blowey.

Lilly: I sleep upside down, like a bat.

Fat Amy: You are one of us. You paid the registration fees.

Aubrey: Like my dad always said, "In the mind field of life, you must be prepared to lose both feet." And I think you all know what I mean.
Fat Amy: I don't.

Chloe: Then it's decided. This year I will graduate. The world will be my swan song. I mean it. I'll pursue my passion. I'll teach underprivileged children how to sing or I'll dance exotically, whatever offers the most money.

Flo: So after I graduate there is a chance I will be deported. I will try to re enter this country but I will probably die at sea so... let's live for tonight!

John: You know, I spent some time with some lady boys in the Philippines myself.
Gail: I'm not surprised.
John: Very interesting young men.
Gail: Doing amazing thing with their mouth I presume.
John: When we go back to the stage I'll do a few for you here.
Gail: You know we can get to it later. Maybe when the Koreans are out there because no one cares about the Korean group.
John: Love that barbecue.

Fat Amy: Guys, there's gonna be some haters out there. They're gonna look at us, team USA, and be like "Why is the most talented one Australian?" But guess what, I am fat so that is close enough.

Gail: Oh, they have touched every person here. They have touched me.
John: Well, every one has touched you Gail but this is something else.

Beca: Don't go in the basement it's haunted.


Plot: After a commando situation arises at the Lincoln Center and ruins the Barden Bella’s reputation, they must fight to save their team and the right to perform at the World Championship where they must defeat their German competitors.

Review:     

I had hoped for Pitch Perfect 2 ever since I watched the first movie. When I heard a sequel was in the making, needless to say I was beyond ecstatic!

Yet Pitch Perfect 2 didn’t turn out to be all that I had hoped for.  In fact, if it was not for the songs it would be very average, at best.

Pitch Perfect was fun, despite the songs. The characters were all awesome and witty and it was great to see them develop a strong bond that united them.

Pitch Perfect 2 has a long list of characters who had barely any lines and did not matter at all, while other characters have been forgotten or seem to have been brainwashed. I was particularly disappointed to see what they had done with Chloe’s character. They dumbed her down and it did not match at all with the girl she was in the first movie. I also wish that Stacy, Jesse and Lilly had a much bigger part in this, I really missed them while I wish we had less of Fat Amy. 

As to the new girl Emily played by Hailee Steinfeld, I wasn’t too impressed but she was okay. The actress is really good and she sure is a great singer. Her character though could have been better written, but this could be applied to most characters of the sequel. Pitch Perfect 2 had a chance to explore the bond and relationships they all created in the first movie but they just threw this opportunity out the window in favor of … Fat Amy jokes.

The German team was quite enjoyable though. They were quite ridiculous and beyond cliché, but I must say that every song they sang in the movie were incredibly cool.

In fact, the songs definitely are what is best in Pitch Perfect 2 as they didn’t fail to disappoint and I have been listing to the soundtrack non- stop!
