Pitch Perfect 2

Pitch Perfect 2 is currently streaming in Australia on Disney Plus and BINGE, and in the US on fuboTV and YouTube TV, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. With 5,541 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Watch it for Anna Kendrick — stay for everyone else around them. Put it on tonight on Disney Plus and see for yourself.

Pitch Perfect 2 is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Pitch Perfect 2 does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. The Bellas 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 Bellas are taken out of the Aca-Circuit. In order to clear their name, and regain their status, the Bellas take on a seemingly impossible task: winning an international competition no American team has ever won. Anna Kendrick and Brittany Snow lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2015. Pitch Perfect 2 earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Pitch Perfect 2 is a strong candidate. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Anna Kendrick's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
