Pitch Perfect 3
The Press Reviews
Not so much a story as a victory lap… Full Review
The movie is best when it's focused on the music (prepare to hear the dorkiest version of "Toxic" more times than is healthy), not the silly subplots that have a way of sprouting up around third chapters. Full Review
Pitch Perfect 3 is not exactly the epitome of 21st century, post-Weinstein, feminist cinema. Full Review
This last (?) encore feels a little tired, but fans will still feel the urge to raise their lighters/glowing phones. Full Review
A coarse, ugly, pointlessly action-packed reminder that every modestly sharp and amusing property must eventually be converted, by the commercial logic of Hollywood, into a soul-killing cash grab. Full Review
With a plot as unfocused as its freshly graduated characters, the shaggy "Pitch Perfect 3" gets by on karaoke logic: What makes for a good time isn't the song you sing, but the company you keep. Full Review
Whatever charms the first two movies possessed (and they were considerable thanks to the talented and appealing cast) have been thoroughly lost in this soulless installment. Full Review
The movie is bubbly, it's fast, it's hella synthetic-clever, and it's an avid showcase for the personalities of its stars... Full Review
It looks like these performers are genuinely enjoying themselves, and it's infectious. Despite the preposterous escapades and the self-destructive satire, at the end of it all, there's something real left standing. Full Review
BY Dominic Corry Flicks Writer
In attempting a minor reinvention for its third outing, the Pitch Perfect franchise introduces action thriller elements, international locations and DJ Khaled (playing himself, terribly), but is once again driven forward by the considerable charm of its principal cast and their irresistible musical mash-ups.... More
With their a cappella championship days behind them, mournfully so, the Bellas eagerly come back together when Aubrey's (Anna Camp) military father recruits them for a tour of American overseas army bases. Their competitive instincts kick in when they learn they'll be facing off against several other (non a capella) groups for the chance to perform on live television. Later, they get kidnapped.
There's a stronger emphasis on the series' kooky sense of knowing humour – one of the funniest moments has Beca (Anna Kendrick) slapping away a plastic cup in an acknowledgment of Kendrick's unlikely smash hit single Cups, which accompanied the first film.
This entry also ditches Beca's and Amy's (Rebel Wilson) love interests (so don't expect to see Adam Devine's Bumper or Skyler Astin's Jesse) and drafts in John Lithgow to ham it up as Amy's Aussie father, a character whose intentions seem a tad out of place in what is otherwise a reasonably lighthearted affair. Ruby Rose (John Wick: Chapter Two) also shows up as the leader of one of the rival groups.
The particulars ultimately don't really matter, however, when the main cast commands such a huge amount of goodwill from their audience. For all its frivolity, fans should be more than satisfied with this final run around the track. And the musical numbers are simply delightful.Hide
