The third film in the "Pitch Perfect" franchise that follows a team entering singing competitions, starring Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson and Brittany Snow in recurring roles.
After the highs of winning the World Championships, the Bellas find themselves split apart and discovering there aren't job prospects for making music with your mouth. But when they get the chance to reunite for an overseas USO tour, this group of awesome nerds will come together to make some music, and some questionable decisions, one last time.
An invitation to join a USO tour and perform in Spain, Italy and France provides just the contrivance to reunite the Bellas for one last hurrah and prolong their avoidance of adulthood.
That's pretty much it concerning the flimsiness of the storyline that links one song to another. The numbers are lively as always, but with a sameness of energy and choreography that eventually makes them feel repetitive and numbing.
I like Anna Kendrick because her films no matter how ridiculous and raunchy they are, they have a morale behind them.
ReplyDeleteSome of the acapella song and dance numbers are fun enough, particularly "Toxic" that opens the film.
There will be no doubt die-hard teenage fans who will love this one too.
I wasn't expecting too much so I went to the cinema with an open mind. However, I was only about 3 minutes into this film and I could feel the quality and feel of it was a whole lot better than the last.
ReplyDeleteThere should not be any confusion about what this film is. Lots of cheap laughs and a little feel good music. Thats it. But that is all it has ever been. So the measure is how good it makes you feel.
The story, whilst very predictable and normal, did flow okay and the pace was good. There didn't feel like there was that much singing in this one but it was enough for me. All the pitches looked great and the visuals were all done well. I've not heard of this director before but I liked her work. The humour and 'action' were all well executed and I had a good few giggles throughout. I was expecting a bigger ending with more of a punch but it never quite came. It was okay but I expected a big hitting finale.
If you were a fan of the first Pitch Perfect movie and were disappointed by the bloated sequel, you'll find Pitch Perfect 3 to be awesome. I saw all three movies back-to-back at the Pitch Perfect Treble feature so I was able to put them into fresh context.
ReplyDeleteThe third chapter gets back to basics and focuses squarely on the core cast, along with Hailee Steinfeld and Chrissie Fit from Pitch Perfect 2.
This franchise finale is "pitch perfect". To paraphrase Jesse, if you like watching a bunch of girls doing covers of songs one last time, you'll love this movie.
ReplyDelete"Pitch Perfect 3" is a fun and entertaining movie that follows the Barden Bellas, an all-female a cappella group, as they reunite for one last performance on a USO tour. The movie features great musical performances, hilarious comedic moments, and a touching farewell to the beloved characters. While it may not be as fresh or innovative as the first "Pitch Perfect" film, it's still a great choice for fans of the franchise and anyone looking for a lighthearted and enjoyable movie experience. Overall, "Pitch Perfect 3" is a fitting and satisfying conclusion to the series.
