The familiar elements of the series are mostly present, including the amusing running commentary by the smarmy media duo played by John Michael Higgins and Elizabeth Banks (who made her feature directorial debut with Pitch Perfect 2 and is one of the producers here).

'Pitch Perfect 3': Everything to Know About the Third Musical Movie
He eventually kidnaps most of the Bellas for the purpose of baiting Fat Amy, who’s forced to come to the rescue along with Beca. Between musical numbers and romantic flirtations, the Bellas also are forced to deal with Fat Amy’s long-estranged father (John Lithgow), whose desire to reconnect with his daughter has ulterior motives. All are vying for the honor of serving as opening act for the upcoming tour by DJ Khaled (playing himself, to minimal effect). This time the Bellas are not competing with other singing groups, but rather the provocatively named - cue the tiresome jokes - all-female rock band Evermoist (its frontwoman played by the striking Australian actress/model Ruby Rose), a country-western band and a hip-hop duo. You can imagine their relief when offered an opportunity to reunite and perform as part of an overseas USO tour (with all the European locales unconvincingly doubled by Atlanta). They’re trying to make it in the real world, with Beca (Kendrick) unhappily working at a record label and Fat Amy (Wilson) performing her original one-woman show, Fat Amy Winehouse.

Since professional obligation requires a summary of the plot cooked up by co-screenwriter Kay Cannon, here goes: The Bellas have by now graduated from college - and it’s about time, considering Anna Kendrick is 32, Rebel Wilson is 37, Brittany Snow is 31 and Anna Camp is 35. 'Pitch Perfect 3' Premiere: Rebel Wilson Plots Future Reunion It seems all the more surprising considering the screenplay was co-written by the talented Mike White, presumably happy to cash a studio paycheck between more idiosyncratic personal efforts like the recent Brad’s Status and Miguel Arteta’s Beatriz at Dinner. 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. The fiery explosions and violent mayhem seem more appropriate for a James Bond movie than a lighthearted comedy, and it effectively signals that Pitch Perfect 3 is only going downhill from there.įranchise fatigue is evident throughout this mechanical enterprise, which squanders the good will engendered by the original 2012 sleeper hit and, to a lesser extent, its even more commercially successful 2015 sequel. The opening sequence features the familiar heroines singing Britney Spears’ “Toxic” on a massive yacht as all hell breaks loose around them. The third installment in Universal’s hit franchise revolving around an a cappella singing group doesn’t begin how you would expect.
