More of the same but with slightly higher stakes. Banks took on the role of director for this sequel, not that I really noticed. This is rather generic Hollywood stuff, no matter how you look at it. It's not worse than the first film, but since that wasn't all that good to begin with, it's pretty low praise.
The Bellas humiliate themselves in front of the president, after which they are disbanded by the school direction. They come up with an ultimatum: if they win the world championship, they can keep their little group going. The competition is steep, but the Bellas won't let that deter them.
The song and dance routines are pretty blah and unimpressive, what half-saves the film are some comedic interludes (especially the commentary by Banks and Higgins). It's not a lot, but it at least it's better than nothing. It's not a great series (and not that I expected it to be), but it's not a complete disaster either.
