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. In order to accomplish this monumental task, they need to strengthen the bonds of friendship and sisterhood, and blow away the competition with their amazing aca-magic! With all new friends and old rivals tagging along for the trip, the Bellas can hopefully accomplish their dreams once again.

A failed actor turned worse high school drama teacher rallies his Tucson, Arizona students as he conceives and stages a politically incorrect musical sequel to Shakespeare's "Hamlet". Dana Marschz is a failed actor and recovering alcoholic who's moved to Tucson to teach high-school drama, where he's plagued by bad reviews, student indifference, budget woes (he and his wife, who is trying to get pregnant, take in a boarder), and his own teaching limitations. Because the other electives are closed, he finds himself with a large class of seeming gang-bangers, and the principal informs him that drama will be cut next trimester. On a student reviewer's advice, Dana decides to stage his own play, a sequel to "Hamlet" in which the prince and Jesus use a time machine to try to save Gertrude and Ophelia. Can Dana pull something off for once? —<jhailey@hotmail.com>
