Pitch Perfect 2

Pitch Perfect 2:  Passing the Torch

A Review by Moriya Bradley

B+

When Pitch Perfect (2012) came out, it’s safe to say that it took the world by storm.  It was a relatively low budget “musical” if you will, based on the book by Mickey Rapkin, and the first week after it came out, it was all anyone could talk about.  The quick wit script combined with a cast of diverse, fabulous ladies, makes it no surprise that the film is now quoted and applauded everywhere.  The sequel, Pitch Perfect 2, is no exception.  Returning cast members include Anna Kendrick, Skylar Astin, Brittany Snow, Rebel Wilson, Ben Platt, Anna Camp, Alexis Knapp, Ester Dean, Adam DeVine, Hana Mae Lee, John Michael Higgins and Elizabeth Banks.

I'd like to preface this review with the statement that Disney has been on a high kick with movies lately, so my hopes for Into the Woods were pretty high.

Into the Woods is a mash-up musical of fairy-tales. The story follows many, many different characters as protagonists in their own stories, but all intersect. In the woods. Saw that one coming.
