\"\"<\/a>Pitch Perfect 3<\/em><\/strong> is the conclusion to a trilogy that honestly didn\u2019t need one. I can\u2019t precisely remember why I enjoyed the first two only to say that I did (according to my ratings on IMDb) but this one was pointless and even the music doesn\u2019t overcome a disorganized plot, even though the cast at least seemed to be having a good time.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast call pitches.\u201d<\/p>\n

The trilogy that I doubt many people wanted has now been completed. Of course, it\u2019s no surprise there\u2019d be a Pitch Perfect 3<\/em><\/strong> considering its predecessor did manage to surprise taking in $287M worldwide on a mere $29M budget. I think I generally had enjoyed the first two films, I said \u201cI think\u201d because can\u2019t exactly recall what the hell happened in either of them. And something tells me I probably won\u2019t remember this one either in a day or two.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The plot as best I can tell finds the Bellas reuniting a few years after the sequel, each one learning to lead normal, regular lives off stage. Beca (ANNA KENDRICK) was a music producer before she quit; Fat Amy (REBEL WILSON) does basically nothing, though has \u201cworked\u201d as a Fat Amy Winehouse; and the filmmakers don\u2019t exactly delve that deeply into the others\u2019 personal lives. Not that it matters as the movie more or less revolves around these two characters.<\/p>\n

The Bellas are invited for what they thought was a reunion by Emily (HAILEE STEINFELD), now a senior and leading the Barden Bellas, but turned out to be more of a get together with her sing with the group. Afterward, they\u2019re gathered around the bar when Aubrey (ANNA CAMP) suggests the Bellas get back together on the USO tour as she can get them in with her father being a high ranking military official. So they decide to use the opportunity for one last chance to sing together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Upon their arrival, they discover there\u2019s a competition involved where the winners would open for superstar rapper DJ Khaled (as himself); they must go up against a country-pop group and a trio girl band, the latter led by \u201cCalamity\u201d (RUBY ROSE), though these are not acapella but traditional bands. Oh, and along for the ride are Bella critics John (JOHN MICHAEL HIGGINS) and Gail (ELIZABETH BANKS) who are making a documentary film.<\/p>\n

As you can imagine, the story is on the thinner side and what is there is a bit haphazard, such as the introduction to Fat Amy\u2019s criminal father (JOHN LITHGOW) who arrives back into her life but has ulterior motives. In any case, the music (covers) were fine I guess but the whole concept that made the first two movies big, that really began with the TV series Glee<\/em>, has grown tired and there\u2019s really nowhere you can take characters who, outside of 2 or 3, were underwritten.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That said, I did manage to chuckle at a couple of the jokes and didn\u2019t find Rebel Wilson very annoying or obnoxious, although she\u2019s like Melissa McCarthy or Zach Galifinakis meaning they only have one type of humor and are limited in their ranges, while McCarthy I think has a chance to be something better.<\/p>\n

Pitch Perfect 3<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t quite lazy as at the very least, kind of like Ocean\u2019s Twelve<\/em>, you got a sense the cast were having a good time together, even if the story, and writing as a whole, were weak. I suppose die-hard fans will get something out of this, otherwise skip.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
