Film Review – Sing 2

2016’s “Sing” didn’t feature inspired screenwriting or a particularly heartening story, but it was a hit, giving Illumination Entertainment another brand name to exploit between movies about the Minions. It took some time, but “Sing 2” has arrived, and it’s really not all that different from its predecessor. It’s another let’s-put-on-a-show tale featuring the characters in desperate situations of fear, only this time there are more personalities to follow and a Las Vegas-y escalation of showmanship to add some visual power. Writer/director Garth Jennings returns to duty in “Sing 2,” and he’s not filled with fresh ideas, but he’s not crude either, giving the continuation a chance to charm. It’s not exactly an improvement on the original endeavor, but the follow-up offers a bit more personality and cartoon atmosphere, which helps to digest the sameness of it all.
