This massive competitive undertaking mixed with a serious group identity crisis leaves the Bellas without a lot of options in terms of getting their name back on top. The group also welcomes a new face named Emily (Hailee Steinfeld), who is known for her "legacy" status thanks to her extremely talented mother, who was a Bella during her days at Barden University. She dreams of being a music producer, but has to work around her hard-headed (but hilarious) boss (Keegan-Michael Key), leaving the Bellas without a great deal of organization in the meantime. Moreover, the only one who appears worried about her future is Becca, who has been skipping out on many rehearsals and practices to advance her lowly status at a record company. However, most of the Bellas are graduating this year, quietly forgetting what has kept them together for so long. A few years ago, this would've been little sweat for the barrage of talented ladies. In order to regain their domestic status, the group tries to perform on the international circuit, which has never seen an American a capella group compete in history. Following an incident involving the klutzy Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) and an unforeseeable wardrobe malfunction in front of President Barack Obama and the First Lady, the Bellas are suspended from competing in any competition. This time around, we are reacquainted with the Bellas, the renowned, award-winning a capella group led by Becca (Anna Kendrick) and Chloe (Brittany Snow). Aside from a few stumbling attempts to keep up with its own absurdity, and some seriously questionable cultural jokes, "Pitch Perfect 2" continues to exploit its own harmony and run with it to notable success. On the contrary, I don't think anybody expected there not to be a sequel to the film, and for that film to try and mimic what made the first film so loved.
It combined the wry relatability of a film like "Mean Girls" and etched in pop/music-influenced energy to create something that was decidedly unique and realized and wound up creating its own eclectic fanbase.
The original "Pitch Perfect" was, by any definition, a surprise hit I think it's fair to claim nobody expected a film about a group of female a capella singers to be a box office smash that left a cultural footprint on the new generation of teenage girls.
