QUICK TAKE:
Animated Comedy/Musical: A group of musical animals tries to put on a big Broadway-caliber musical, but to pull it off they must convince a reclusive former rocker to join them.
PLOT:

Buster Moon (voice of MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY) is a showbiz koala who's hoping a talent scout -- who's looking for big acts for Redshore City casino owner Jimmy Crystal (voice of BOBBY CANNAVALE) -- will think that their Moon Theater show is the right fit.

She doesn't, but Buster gets his old crew together -- including his lizard assistant Ms. Crawley (voice of GARTH JENNINGS); pig singer Rosita (voice of REESE WITHERSPOON), shy elephant Meena (voice of TORI KELLY); flamboyant German pig Gunter (voice of NICK KROLL); singing gorilla Johnny (voice of TARON EGERTON), and punk rocker porcupine Ash (voice of SCARLETT JOHANSSON) -- and they head for the big city.

When their sneak audition for Mr. Crystal flops, they ad-lib and pitch Gunter's idea for a sci-fi musical. That includes lying that they not only have permission from reclusive rocker Clay Calloway (voice of BONO) to use his song but that he's also going to be in the production. Crystal loves the idea but only gives them three weeks to get it ready.

As Buster, Ms. Crawley, and Ash try to convince Clay -- who hasn't been seen in fifteen years following his wife's death -- the rest must contend with Crystal's airhead daughter, Porsha (voice of HALSEY), who wants the lead part; self-centered actor Darius (voice of ERIC ANDRE); and choreographer Klaus Kickenklober (voice of ADAM BUXTON) who's so demanding of and demeaning to Johnny that the gorilla reaches out to street performer feline Nooshy (voice of LETITIA WRIGHT) for help with his dancing and performance.

With the clock ticking down toward the first performance, Buster does what he can to make that happen, convince Clay to join them, and avoid Mr. Crystal's wrath.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
If they liked the first "Sing" movie (or any featuring talking animals) they probably will.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG
For some rude material and mild peril/violence.


I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
