Sing 2

Right now you can watch Sing 2 in Australia on BINGE and Foxtel Now, and in the UK on Amazon Prime Video — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. 4,820 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Matthew McConaughey sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Start it on BINGE whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Sing 2 keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Sing 2 land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Buster and his new cast now have their sights set on debuting a new show at the Crystal Tower Theater in glamorous Redshore City. But with no connections, he and his singers must sneak into the Crystal Entertainment offices, run by the ruthless wolf mogul Jimmy Crystal, where the gang pitches the ridiculous idea of casting the lion rock legend Clay Calloway in their show. Buster must embark on a quest to find the now-isolated Clay and persuade him to return to the stage. Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon lead a cast with the timing to make it work. It hit screens in 2021. What keeps Sing 2 from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Sing 2 is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Matthew McConaughey is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
